This is one of the hard situations - 3 weeks before the flight, another booking much more expensive, airline playing hardball. You've close to zero legal possibilities.
I think you are referring to EU compensation for EU flights. This does not apply to US flights anyways. But IATA demands certain minimum rules - especially for IRROPS from members.
We should start citing this manual
