I got 2 of my 3 W2s. The 3rd one they said they sent but it's gonna take awhile (at least 2 months) to get a duplicate. Can I file the W2s that I have and then file the other W2 duplicate whenever I recieve it in a couple mos.?

If you still do not receive your W-2 by February 14th, contact the IRS for assistance at 800-829-1040. When you call, have the following information:
Employer's name, address, city, and state, including zip code.
Your name, address, city and state, including zip code, and Social Security number
If you misplaced your W-2, contact your employer. Your employer can replace the lost form with a “reissued statement.” Be aware that your employer is allowed to charge you a fee for providing you with a new W-2.
You still must file your tax return on time even if you do not receive your Form W-2. If you do not receive the missing information in time to file, you may file you may use Form 4852, Substitute for Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. Attach Form 4852 to the return, estimating income and withholding taxes as accurately as possible. There may be a delay in any refund due while the information is verified.
If you receive a Form W-2 or W-2C (corrected form) after you have filed your return using Form 4852, and the information differs from what you reported on your return, you must amend your return by filing a Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

No, you should NOT do that. It should not take anywhere near 2 months for a duplicate. If they're telling you that, call the IRS and file a missing W2 complaint. They'll get your W2 to you quickly once the IRS prods them.
If you file without the missing W2, you'll need to file an amended return on Form 1040X when you do get it. In nearly all cases, that will result in a tax-due situation so do NOT spend your refund until you get that taken care of. If the amended return is filed after the filing deadline, you'll also be facing penalties and interest for late payment of tax.
