your question has been highjacked by the hatchet brigade, none of whom wants to assist you with the info you are looking for.
Other than the travel agent type VIP services ther are locals who can help.
If you search the forum there is heaps of info, or a local contact is already posted for you.
There is no update on the photo etc, and at the desks there is fingerprint info and machines, but no sign of anything else.
I timed people being processed, and it was running out to about 4 minutes a couple.
The additional three or four minutes for the additional checks would make the process totally unworkable.
If you are interested in using an express service, use one of the local ones, at this stage there is no sign of discontinuing, and as you don't pre pay (as with the Netfare etc) there is nothing to loose anyway.
I hope your arrival is all you hope for regardless of which option you choose.
