COS expiry related

Dear Members,

My COS expiry date is 12 May 22. I gave my biometric on 23 Mar 22 and waiting for decision on my employer sponsored SW visa from outside UK (in India). This is under standard processing as priority visa processing is suspended here.

1. Is it reasonable to expect that my Visa will come in April itself?
2. Is there a chance that my visa comes after 12 May 22?
3. If so, will there be a problem since my COS will expire by 12 May 22?

Please suggest anything that I need to/can do.

Thanks for your time and attention.
Regards,
SG

You only need to submit your application before CoS expiry date. Visa issuance and UK entry can be after it.
