After you file
Amended returns are taking 6 months or more. And you shouldn't have amended until the first original return was fully processed and you got the first refund or paid the tax due.
You will still get the refund from the first original return or still need to pay the first tax due. Then the amended return is only for the difference you get back or owe. I think the cover sheet shows what the original return WOULD have been if you did it right the first time.
Go by the actual 1040X. Line 18 should be your original refund amount and line 22 should be your additional refund. If you paid on your original return it will be on line 16. If there is an amount owed with the amendment, it will be on line 20.
