Not sure what you expected within three weeks of amending a tax return.   It is taking the IRS more than six months to process amended returns.

Even during “normal” times it takes about four months for the IRS to process an amended return.  During the pandemic and due to the severe backlog at the IRS it is taking much longer—six months or more for many amended returns.  Do not expect quick results from amending.  When the IRS issues a refund for an amended return it will be by check.  They do not make direct deposits for refunds for amended returns.  You can watch for information here:

Do you mean the IRS told you that they adjusted (not amended) your return, and that you could expect a check in 3 weeks?
