In reference to the current Texas service center processing times found on many websites:

http://www.immigration.com/processing-times/tx.html

http://www.usvisanews.com/pro-texas.html

http://www.visapro.com/Texas-Service-Center.asp

Does the date here reflect the date these applications are approved or the dates they start processing? My particular case is an I-129-F. Does this date mean that on September 1, they start processing applications recieved by August 7 or they have finished processing (and hopefully approved) applications recieved by August 7.

Thank you in advance for your help.
