After you file

ok, so I have a similar situation. 

Did you claim EIC, I did. So I am curious to know if this is what is holding up the RA. If they can't send a full refund until mid-end of Feb, then I am thinking it would tie up the advance also. 

I checked last years return and I got my advance on the 9th of Feb, and the remaining amount the end of the month.
