Congrats!! Hopefully my request is not too far either. I got two unsolicited updates late last week.  
 

Given this news, we can conclude that there is no order of how they are approving these cases and it is not by first come first serve basis.

They did not provide me with a link or other details but I did register last year for the courier service.

Yes, but I wonder if WOMs are making a difference again.

I don’t think it’s the WOM because that would be quite soon for them to action based off of that. It was only filed at the beginning of June and they are taking minimum 60 to 90 days right now to respond to them.

If my memory serves me right the courier service registration applies only for where you want the passport sent TO YOU after it has been visa stamped

Not by first come first served basis, that’s for sure.  No order other than when clearance is received from agencies involved, and complexity of case is a factor
