What is the processing time goal for Chapter 6 Requests?

• A. 15 duty days.
• B. 30 calendar days.
• C. 25 duty days after submission.
• D. 60 calendar days.

Answer: (C)

The processing time goal for a Chapter 6 Request is measured in duty days after submission. This means the agency aims to complete the processing within 25 business days, not counting weekends and holidays. So, the target is 25 duty days after the request is submitted, which is roughly five weeks of processing in a typical work schedule. This contrasts with options that use calendar days (which include weekends and holidays) or a different number of days. For example, 15 duty days would be about three weeks and is shorter; 30 or 60 calendar days would count all days regardless of work status and would not match the duty-day target.
