Counter staff made all my fight changes in 5 minutes and I was then immediately escorted via a waiting cart to just before the immigration gates.
Base on my datapoint they are taking their time filing these visit lounge and then leave airside for HK request.
That's interesting. A similar thing happened to me a few months ago and I was escorted to the immigration office. Could not use the arrival immigration gates (I am PR) and had to wait almost an hour to be "processed" by immigraiton.
