Status after 5 weeks - yet to be assessed?

[singhmohit]

Hello All,

We (me and my wife in New Delhi, India) are awaiting the outcome of her spouse settlement visa (I'm a british citizen and We filled the visa on 21st Feb in New Delhi (non-priority)). Yesterday we sent an internet query through UKVI online service and got the following reply:

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your visa application. I have tracked the status (GWFXXXXXXXXXx and date of birth XX/YY/19ZZ) and found it is yet to be assessed by an Entry Clearance Officer (ECO). Your visa application centre or the entry clearance officer (ECO) will contact you once a decision has been made or, if necessary, during the consideration of your application.

My question is:
1. Should I conclude that they have "NOT EVEN STARTED" assessing the application yet? - is that what the above response means?
2. Or Is this their standard template response?

Any indication will be helpful.
