Better to withdraw because it's inevitable that you won't be getting a visa with this SOP, so why to wait for 3 months and get a refusal under your umbrella rest is your call.

The consultant is saying in sds file with a good profile, sop is not mandatory. I'm torn up right now.

I would withdraw too.. why you are going to risk your application while you are able to withdraw and reapply. Imagine you wait for 2 or 3 months and then you got refused because of your SOP, such refusal may severely affect your future applications. Play in the safe side.

Actually vfs offices are closed in India. If i launch my webform, it'll take weeks to just cancel my application (incase it does). That's why I'm waiting. Otherwise I would've withdrawn it already.

Yes, in SDS SOP is only a supporting document, but since you've uploaded VO will definitely review that file because it's part of their checklist.

Mispresentation aka lying calls into question the integrity of your entire application no matter how short or irrelevant the details may be.

Actually many vfs offices are closed in India. If i launch my webform, it'll take weeks to just cancel my application (incase it does). That's why I'm waiting. Otherwise I would've withdrawn it already.

Does withdrawal of file affect my chances in next application?

assuming the VO is a fluent english user, they’d be able to tell based only on the sentence structure and tone of the SOP. I doubt they’ll use turnitin, but since I believe that many of those who either copy the SOP from somewhere, or have their agents write their SOP, would have been referring to the same few sources, it just means the VO could have read an identical SOP from an earlier file.

thats why I’m a proponent of writing your own SOPs. you’d be able to express your own intentions better and will more likely get that permit approved

The VO sees many SOPs. So if someone pulled one off the internet, they will probably spot that quickly just because they see so many (and they see some over and over again).

There are also many tools available that can be used to check a document for plagiarism against databases / information available online. These are used primarily by colleges and universities to catch plaigiarism.

I'm going to fill the withdrawal form tomorrow if I get late biometrics appointment. If i get my biometric appointment in this week, I'll go with the flow and hope for the best.
