What the latest we’ll receive a response? 5pm? or has anyone experienced anything different?
Answer summary
The timeframe for receiving a visa response can vary significantly, with some applicants reporting approvals occurring late in the evening or even during weekends. While many responses are expected during standard office hours, it has been noted that visa officers sometimes work from home and can approve applications at non-traditional times. Individual experiences vary by embassy, with some suggesting that typical processing may take several months to receive a final decision.

My visa was approved on a Saturday at 9:45pm

If it's pending document check that's only during office hours

Pending approval the officers have laptops they can take home so you'll find sometimes they get approved over night

I doubt it is officers taking their laptops home and doing work. More likely there is a lag in the system between when an officer approves and when it shows up in the system for the applicant to see.
