is it possible to be approved without 2FP?

So far there hasn't been a case that I know [atleast not one, where their file was touched, atleast technically, coz an RFE was issued prior to their Fp1 expiry]. As per the SOP i think unexpired FP result is required at the time of processing.

It's not possible. Almost sure. This is because they have a policy that security check should be done just before approving the case (in addition to the initial check they have done when they received the FP results). The only exception is when the officer picks up your file just 1 or 2 days before the FP expiry and issues a routine RFE before approval. That way technically your FP might ave expired when you received the RFE, but you still might be approved if you reply to RFE quickly.
Don't worry, there are thousands of people (including me) with expired FP1 and eagerly / hopelessly waiting for FP2.
