how many days out of the country for ILR

[AhmedAE]

Hello everyone;

I have a question and I'm hoping you can help me.

I am on tier 2 visa and will apply for ILR this year with my wife, we are planning to apply in April/May time.

My wife is now out of the country since 12/12/2020 and still abroad due to airline cancellations and we are waiting for the new ticket but they are talking about maybe return 19/02/2021, I'm worried and would like to know how many days can she stay out of the UK without affecting her application for the ILR later

thank you guys for everything you do.
