I don't know what the current batch number is; perhaps another forum member does. Where did you see that it takes 2-3 weeks for results after batching? Most tests take at least twice as long as that, and only rarely do some results come in so quickly (mostly Family Finder). Batches are not composed of any one type of test; batches are groups of kits of all types of tests (Y-DNA, mtDNA, Family Finder, etc.). The various kits in a batch are then processed by type, and processing for some types of tests takes longer than others. See the following links in the FTDNA Learning Center for "What are weekly test batches? When do batches close?" (please note the "Note" on this page), and "After I return the kit, how long will results take?"
The second link indicates that tests such as your Y-37 will likely take 6 to 8 weeks, so the estimate of late February is in that range. Your results may be done before that time; but there can be delays, depending on the sample quality, amount of kits that need to be processed, and sometimes other lab conditions. Patience is always key with DNA results, and genealogy in general.
