We recently flew AF JFK-CDG RT. My wife's miles for both legs posted to her DL account within a day of our return flight. Nothing posted for me, so I filled out the request mileage credit form for the outbound flight (ticket number and boarding pass). I got credit within about an hour. Submitting the form also opened a request for the return leg, but that has been pending for three days with a note "still processing, should complete within 24 hours".

Should I go ahead and submit a request for the return segment (including that boarding pass) rather than waiting the recommended 7 days from the missing leg? Or should I just be patient for a few more days?
