Beer kit question

[Banksy]

I am brewing lager from a kit. The primary fermentation is supposed to take a week or so. After this the instructions say to bottle. That was about 2 or 3 weeks ago now. How long can it sit there before being bottled for it to still be ok? I'm a bit worried the 2ndry fermentation in the bottle will not work if the yeast dies, or sinks to the bottom. I would be grateful for your imput. Thanks folks :

Thanks for this info. I should really get a move on with this. I need my fermentation bin. I def find the bottling the be a bit of a pain.

Thanks for the help.
