My refund was mailed on march 18th, I didn't receive it after 21 days.

I file for a claim and the 45 days that the IRS told me to wait are gone.

Can't get to talk to a real person on the IRS hotlines, don't know what to do.

I e-filed it since I'm a non-resident.

The IRS says most refunds will be issued within 21 days - some faster, some longer.

Each tax return is evaluated on it's own merits. There is no first-in-first-out. Two similar tax return submitted at the same time can have totally different processing times based on IRS criteria for examining tax returns that the IRS does not divulge.

Some returns will be held for ID verification or other verification. The IRS will send a letter if they require more information to process your tax return.

If it says "Tax Topic 152" then that is only general refund information.
