Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
A wife has the right to ask for divorce if the husband exceeds 4 months of separation. This practice was applied since `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) made it part of the length of absence for army soldiers away from family.
If she chooses to wait, then that is her personal choice to practice patience; being away from her husband. But she has the right to ask for the presence of the husband with her. If he refusesm then she can bring her case to the judge and ask for divorce.
Almighty Allah knows best.
