Hi,
I've run into following questions.

which one is correct

1. You have to file an appeal by the 6-month deadline Correct
2. You have to file an appeal within the 6-month deadline Incorrect.

The deadline is the date of the day that comes at the end of the 6-month period.
You have to file an appeal within the 6-month period before the deadline.

Best wishes, Clive
