Re: non pro tonk

It's "nunc pro tunc", which is a Latin word meaning "Now for then." Although you should supply more facts, it most likely means that you were approved on your entry visa retroactively to a previous date when you first applied or in a different status. The approval has the same effect as if it were done on the earlier date.
