Was going through the laws. The 60th day is really a no later than 60 days to process the card after the application has been received. So it is possible to get it sooner. Background check has to be be done before the 30th day (a) and the record has to be completed by the 60th day (b).

They have 60 days from the time they get all of your completed & properly filled out forms (& prints). In your case, looks like Feb 15 I'm assuming. If you have anything on your record, then they have 180 days.
