Yeah brother, it might have been a mistake to not submit a SOP but I have recently seen some posts of people being approved without SOP.I wasn't trying to say you offended me or anyone here !
And there's nothing to be sorry about
Was just giving my experience .
Usually rejections happen when someone is not progressing in their career "Education-Wise"
SOP is always needed , that's the only way the VO will know your intentions etc !
Btw I read your other post , stay calm , and hope for a positive outcome
So I am hoping for the best.
