Approval Process Trigger Error

I have researched the code to set up the approval process trigger but I keep getting the following error:

 

Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
Save error: Variable does not exist: req1 Update Case Triggers/src/triggers Approval_Process.trigger line 12 1256322606703 445

This is my code:

 

trigger Approval_Process on Case (after insert, after update) 
{
for(Case cs: Trigger.new)  
{    
	cs = [ select ID from Case where id in :Trigger.new ]; 
	
	if(cs.Agree_to_Submit_for_Approval__c == 'true') 
	
	Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req1 = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
	req1.setComments('Submitting request for approval.');   
	req1.setObjectId(cs.id);   
	Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req1);    
	System.assert(result.isSuccess()); 
	System.assertEquals('Pending', result.getInstanceStatus(), 'Instance Status'+result.getInstanceStatus());         
	}
}
The line the code is referring too is:
Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req1);
 
Please help

It should be more like
 
trigger Approval_Process on Case (after insert, after update)
{
    for(Case cs: Trigger.new)  
    {    
        if (cs.Agree_to_Submit_for_Approval__c == 'true')  {
            Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req1 = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
            req1.setComments('Submitting request for approval.');   
            req1.setObjectId(cs.id);   
            Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req1);    
            System.assert(result.isSuccess()); 
            System.assertEquals('Pending', result.getInstanceStatus(), 'Instance Status'+result.getInstanceStatus());
        } 
    }
}
 
 
If Case.Agree_to_Submit_for_Approval__c is a Boolean data type it should be
"if (cs.Agree_to_Submit_for_Approval__c)  {"
not
"if (cs.Agree_to_Submit_for_Approval__c == 'true')  {"
