You cannot e-file your state return until your federal return has been e-filed and accepted.  But if you need your state refund to pay tax due to the IRS, you can go ahead and e-file your federal.  Just say that you will pay the federal by mailing a check or money order.  You can file now and pay the federal by April 15, 2019, so you have some time to receive the state refund.
