Received state however federal still not approved

Hey guys, maybe you can offer some insight. I filed taxes for my first time on 2/23/2021 and was marked accepted later that day. It has now been 10 days and I received my state return via direct deposit yesterday however federal still shows accepted (not approved). When should my status change? Is it possible to be approved for and receive the state refund but be denied federal?

Thanks

It's possible, but most likely Federal is just caught up in the current IRS backlog.
