How long is it taking for the Alabama Income tax refunds to be direct deposited this year 2008?

I e-file my taxes on Feb. 12 and still haven't received my state tax refund. My son did his about the same time and he received his last week. Of course his check was smaller than our refund will be. Can anyone help? When you call the state refund hotline of course it gives you 6-12 weeks process time. Last year we received it in 2 weeks.
