Should he pay money for the employee to expedite the paperwork he needs to get married?
Question

                I want to give a certain amount of money to one of the workers in a government department so that he will finish processing some paperwork that I have with them, because the regular time for processing these papers is one year, but if I pay money it will be done after ten days, and I am in urgent need of it because these papers are for the purpose of getting married. I hope that you can advise me. Please note that I think it is haraam and regarded as a bribe, but I hope to do it and then offer expiation, and my intention is sincere.
Praise be to Allah.
      Firstly: 

    Giving money to an employee working in the department is not 
    permissible, and it comes under the heading of bribery and haraam gifts to 
    workers. Bribery is a kind of ruining the land and corrupting the people, 
    and it is a major sin because of the report narrated by Ahmad (6791) and Abu 
    Dawood (3580) from ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) who 
    said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) 
    cursed the one who gives a bribe and the one who takes it. Classed as saheeh 
    by al-Albaani in Irwa’ al-Ghaleel, 2621. 

    So long as this is the time it takes to process these papers, 
    and the delay does not result from the employee taking too long and being 
    unfair, there is no justification for paying money. You have to be patient 
    or discuss it the official in charge in the hope that he can expedite the 
    processing of your papers.  

    Secondly: 

    No one has the right to do what Allah has forbidden on the 
    basis that he will repent or offer expiation, because he does not know 
    whether Allah will give him enough time to repent or accept his repentance. 
    There is no expiation for bribery according to sharee‘ah. 

    And Allah knows best.
