Hello,
I think it is better to talk with the authorities and if they are willing to accept it then I must say you should submit it. But remember don't do anything without informing them because then you might not know what consequences might take place. You can ask for extension so that once you get it back you will be able to submit it.
Hope it helps.
Good luck.
