In our case, we didn't photocopy our documents for ILR. They did it themselves in there. It really didn't took a long time. It was the ECOs processing the applications they were assigned to do that took long and not photocopying the documents. They will only photocopy some of the documents they require, less than 5 mins it took them to do this! They will do it before they returned all your docs. We paid a huge amount for the visa and the least they can do is to photocopy it themselves and use their resources!
