Advice needed - additional evidence post-submission

[cymbalseatguitars 24]

Hello everyone

 

I'll summarize our current situation - submitted AOS application April 25. Received I-797 May 14 (as an aside, still haven't heard anything about biometric appointment - is this normal?). 

 

I arrived first week of March, just before lockdown. We declared the value of my wife's house for the I-944, and made an appointment with an appraiser to visit. The appraiser told us he'd need to do it in two visits (long story), took payment and assessed the outside of the house. Then lockdown happened, and so he couldn't return for the concluding visit. 

 

We ultimately completed the AOS application, declared the house's value (per its purchase price) and left an annotation explaining that the appraiser hadn't yet been able to complete the valuation, and that we'd happily submit this separately if required at a later point. 

 

Anyhow, the appraiser was able to complete his business with us last week, and we now have the completed appraisal. It seems unlikely that the AOS has been seen to yet. Is there any way I can submit this additional evidence to them at the time being? Should I just wait and see if they sent an RFE? What would your suggestion/s be?

 

Many thanks in advance

ASC are closed, so no biometrics will happen until they reopen.

 

Wait for the RFE, if it ever comes...
