After you file

Well---good.  Then the signature will not delay anything more.  You are just going to be waiting until someone at the IRS starts tackling those trailers full of mail with a letter opener.  Sorry.  All you can do is check the refund site from time to time and see if they have it yet.  There has been no word on when the IRS will start processing mailed returns.
