What is recieved on or before in 'Waiting times' section

[kulksnikhil1]

UKBA website's PSW>Waiting times section says that "During the week commencing 11 January 2010, we expect to be considering applications that were received on or before 15 December 2009"

What is recieved date of an application? is it
A. The date shown on my acknowledgement letter i.e. the date when acknowledgement letter is generated

OR

B. Is it the date when I posted the application i.e. the date stamped on the special delivery envelope?

I am just curious because, date on my acknoledgement letter is 22-Dec-09. So, this is just on the line for next week's consideration.
