Your spouse's application was received in our office on October 12, 2009. Our objective is to finalize these cases within 6 months of the date of receipt. Routine cases, where all the required information is submitted with the application, are handled even more quickly. However, if further checks are required, finalizing the case might take longer. Does this mean that within 6 months of the receipt which I got when I paid??? I dont understand...plz help
