The priority option means that that your application will be looked at before non priority cases. It does not mean it will be processed straightaway, your just further up the queue. From the stats the Home Office seem to be trying to process priority claims before 60 working days. I would be surprised that there was not a priority option for americans

We too were unable to choose priority from bangkok. We submitted biometrics 7th July hoping to go priority however I think by that time the backlog was well and truly on top of them and it wasn't an option. Unfortunately for those who did manage to pay priority I don't think it's making much of a difference from what I've seen. Both are coming back around the same timeframe and if you are one of the lucky few who get a quick turn around then it's just that... luck.

Sorry guys, scrap this question. When you go through the process of paying for the return courier, there is a priority option there.

As per my observation from different forums, Applications after March has been processed. The ones who applied before that are all suffering like me. I did in December. Still waiting with head on frustration as well as annoyance towards incompetent and unacceptable system charging highest for providing worst service and spoiling lives. UKVI truly sucks!!!

Is the online tracker working for applicants outside the UK?
