Does anyone know if anything gets done on the weekend? Do I need to keep checking the status or is Friday night the last check and then Monday? Thanks! (My expected date is May 18).

My query is around returning of documents, anyone who has completed the process do they contact you before returning your documents to make sure you are still at the same address...

This was my biggest concern, especially the amount of originals you need to include.
