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?
