Re: This link shows the progress:
From the Virginia General Assembly website:
What is the deadline for the Governor to sign bills?
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, if a bill is presented to the Governor with at least seven days remaining in the session, he is required to act within seven days and shall either sign, veto, offer recommendation for amendment, or choose not to take action, whereby such inaction shall allow the bill to become law without the signature of the Governor. If there are less than seven days remaining in the session then the Governor is allowed thirty days to act on the legislation.
In either case, all legislation that is either vetoed or has recommendations offered are returned to the original body where it was introduced where action is initiated to either overturn the veto, agree to the recommendations, or enact the bill as originally presented to the Governor.

Re: Any update on Virginia webcam-notarization bill?
He can sign it, veto it or just do nothing and it then passes. He'll probably do nothing (can't then be blamed for signing it). He has 'friends' who will benefit from its passage. Somewhere on this board, it's been posted (linked, too, I think) that some ??? in VA has a company who will do these types of notarizations.
