From what I've read, the State of Virginia does not expunge
(seal) felony convictions.

"You may be eligible for expungement if criminal charges against
you were dropped, you were acquitted, you received an absolute
pardon, another person was arrested while using your name or
identification (identity theft), or for a first-offense
misdemeanor."
