The immigration service processes all applications individually. So not per group, but per person. even if you filled in multiple travellers in a single application form.

This can be the case if one or several people are subjected to a manual extended background check. If an application for a traveller takes more time than those of the other travellers in the group, this does not mean that the visa application for this traveller has a higher chance of being rejected.
