Hola:
Se trata de un doc de convalidación de título y empieza con la frase "Visto el escrito" (petición de convalidación). ¿Sería correcto traducirlo como "in view of the petition"?

Muchas gracias.

having read the petition
Explanation:
If petition is what best fits "escrito" in your case, OK. Although "in view of" is close, "having read" or "having considered" is closer to the sense of "visto."
