Can I still get my refund if my husband and I both accidentally claimed our children as dependents? He e-filed first so I had to mail mine. He will amend his to remove.

We get max tax benefit for me to claim our children as dependents, but they were accidentally added to both returns. He e-filed first. We are married and filing separately. My e-file was rejected and I mailed my return to the IRS. He plans to amend his return to remove the dependents. In the meantime, will the IRS go ahead and process my paper return and send my refund as my husband's amendment would still be pending.
