After you file

Eight weeks is not very long at all, for an amended return.  I believe the IRS says eight to twelve weeks is normal; however, you shouldn't be surprised if it takes 16 weeks, or more.  As you mentioned, it's the middle of tax filing season, so that's their priority.  That said, they could process it next week.
