Thread: Submit an Application

I am struggling with a translation of:

"You do not need to acquire a approval before I submit the application."

The root word for "submit" is подавать, but for the conjugation or context of this sentence, I am given the word подвергаю.

I looked in my Big Silver book of verbs (p.322) and cannot understand exactly what form of the word should be used.

How should this appear in Russian/Cyrillic?

You do not need to acquire a approval before I submit the application.

Вам не требуется (получение) одобрения перед подачей заявления (на рассмотрение)

But in the English version it's a bit messy for me

- an approival
- You do not need... before I submit...

Does it make much sense?

Maybe I am using some bad english to begin with...

An alternative translation that I am given is:

"...чем я представляю заявление."

I don't know whether that is any better?

Maybe you should say

I can submit the application before you are approved.

Here is my guess:
Я могу представить заявление прежде, чем вы одобрены.

I don't think "подвергаю" is the proper word.
Here is the definition according to Multitran

подвергать v
gener. subject; expose; accord; weather; put to; submit
busin. commit; defer; expose to; subject to
construct. experience
diplom. subject (испытанию и т.п.)
law expose (опасности, случайностям)
Makarov analyze by e. g., fluorescence (напр. люминесцентному анализу); expose (опасности, случайностям и т.п.)
math. face; undertake
milit. expose (действию, опасности и т.п. Киселев); expose (действию)
qual.contr. subject (воздействию)

Well I will try to give you an exact translation.

You do not need to acquire a approval before I submit the application.
Вам не нужно получать одобрения перед тем как я подаю (подам) заявление.

Whose aproval you do not need to get is a question for me. It's sounds like in most cases you have to get one's (may be mine) approval and then I (will) send my application.

представляю is ok too
