Thanks, that's helpful - sounds like it's true. So now I just need to login multiple times each day to check whether a priority option becomes available before my visa expires.

Thanks kamoe, that's super helpful - appreciate your views. Glad to hear that I was just being conservative in interpreting the general guidance.
