I filed an amended tax return. Even though 3 months have passed, my tax refund has not been deposited into my account. I no longer live in the USA, what should I do?

I thought I would apply for my taxes separately, but the tax refund was applied for the same state at once. Anyway, that's why I made an amended return, and although about 3 months have passed, there is no change in the tax home section and no money has been sent. Since I don't live in the USA anymore, I can't call or check online.

The status of an amended federal tax return, Form 1040-X, will be shown on this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return

Unfortunately, when I check on this website, I get the answer that the information you provided is incorrect. There is no chance that my ssn or date of birth is wrong. Unfortunately, I tried all possible zip codes.

How did you file the amended return?  E-file or print and mail?  

If you e-filed did you get confirmation that the e-filed return was accepted by the IRS?

If you printed, signed, dated and mailed the return did you use a tracking service to confirm that the IRS received the mailed return?

When did you file the amended return?

I made my amended return on February 27. I made my refund through turbotax. I also received a confirmation email. I wonder if I'm not getting my refund because I don't live in the USA anymore. Because I read something like this.
Returns you can't check with Where's My Amended Return
Where's My Amended Return can't give you the status for:

Business returns
Returns with a foreign address
Carryback applications and claims
Injured spouse claims
Form 1040 marked as an amended or corrected return (instead of 1040-X)
Returns processed by special units such as Examination or Bankruptcy

[DoninGA]

If your amended tax return was filed with a foreign address then the status of the return will not be shown on the IRS website.

Also, be aware it takes the IRS at least 20 weeks and sometimes longer to process an amended return.

You can contact the IRS from an international location by using the procedures shown in this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/help/contact-my-local-office-internationally

The IRS has stated that on average an amended return takes 5 months to process. Be patient.
