Jaiprakash Gulvady, 51, of Land O’ Lakes, pleaded guilty to procuring citizenship or naturalization unlawfully, misusing evidence of citizenship or naturalization, making false statements in a passport application, and using a passport secured by false statements.

• Gulvady faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
• His conviction for unlawfully procuring citizenship or naturalization will result in the automatic revocation of his U.S. citizenship when he is sentenced.
• Gulvady came to the United States in 2001 on a temporary business visa.
• In August 2008, less than two weeks after divorcing his wife — a U.S. citizen he had married the year before — Gulvady married another U.S. citizen.
• Based on that marriage, he adjusted his immigration status and became a lawful permanent resident in June 2009.
• Two months later, in August 2009, he traveled to India for the first time since his 2001 arrival in the United States.
•  While in India, he married an Indian woman. On a subsequent visit to India, Gulvady and his Indian spouse conceived their first and only child, who was born in January 2011.
• In August 2013, Gulvady’s marriage to his U.S. citizen wife was dissolved.

The following year, Gulvady filed an application for naturalization and falsely stated that he was not currently married; that he did not have any children; and that he had never been married to more than one person at the same time.

• Based on that application, Gulvady became a naturalized U.S. citizen in August 2014.

Using his fraudulently obtained Certificate of Naturalization as evidence of U.S. citizenship, Gulvady filed an application for a U.S. passport and falsely omitted his Indian spouse.
