Refund status

For the first time ever, we had to send a paper component for our taxes (form 8453 with a form 1098-C). Taxes were accepted on 1/28 and form was received 2/14 and I keep getting "your refund is still being processed
 when I check the IRS Where's My Refund. 

 

My question really is twofold. 

1. Has anyone had supplemental tax documents processed already in the same timeframe and received a refund date?

 

2. Would it be worth amending my return to leave off the deduction that required the paper forms? It was not a huge amount and taking it off wouldn't decrease our refund by terribly much. Is it worth trying this, or is it better to just ride it out?

 

I lost the original form 1098-C after I submitted our return so I had to wait on a replacement copy, otherwise the form would have been submitted weeks earlier. It's been a whole thing.
