The Nigerian, whose original name is Modestus Nwagubwu Ifemembi, got United States citizenship by false name Karl Nwabugwu Odike Ifemembi.
He was arrested in April and is due in court next month.
Ifemembi, a 48-year-old, who previously resided in Aliso Viejo, but relocated to Rockville, Maryland, last year, has worked for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for seven years.
United States Department of Justice (DoJ) in a statement said Ifemembi is charged in the complaint with one count of unlawfully procuring U.S. citizenship. x
But a court document seen by The Guardian on Friday showed that Ifemembi has been charged with unlawful procurement of United States citizenship, making a false statement on a passport application, the use of Certificate of Naturalization procured by fraud, fraud and misuse of an immigration document, false Statements and aggravated identity theft.
