After you file

I had been monitoring this situation and apparently, most people who filed before or the same day (some) the IRS opened their portal for submission had the same problem. I have never had a situation before with TT, I have been using it for more than 7 years without any issue. This year I went ahead and submitted my Taxes (Jan 19th) before the IRS date and still pending (Feb 1st - today). Then I helped some friends to do theirs on Jan 29th and (both) were e-filed and accepted the next day. 
Does anyone from TT know what is going on, besides "keep waiting" after almost 10 days? 

 

I would appreciate the clarification for all of us.
