After you file
Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)
Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

The person who you claimed incorrectly for 2024 does not have to wait for you to amend. What she has to do is file her own 2024 return by mail and say on her return that she cannot be claimed as someone else's dependent. Waiting for you will not help her. She could have mailed her 2024 return months ago when it rejected.
