Has anybody else experienced a delay in Virginia accepting their return? It normally happens hours after the federal one is accepted. But it has been almost 5 days now.

I filed on February 6 and the federal one was accepted on February 12 in the evening.  I have heard nothing about my Virginia return and it still indicates pending.  Over the past several years Virginia has always accepted it within hours of the federal one being accepted.
