Looking back at where he went to high school, I'm suspecting Velamoor is a citizen ...
However, some of the questions I have include:
What did he report to Judge Carter on his resume and application as his educational background?
Did he report that he was out of the country? For security clearances, it generally matters.
Does Judge Carter know of the relationship between Velamoor and the man who is about to become the Chief White House counsel?

History shows us that in instances of corporate and government espionage, it's rarely perpetrated by a SENIOR level employee at the organization. It's normally conducted by a lower-level employee whose only qualifications to act as a spy is that he has access to the information, and can be leveraged with a carrot AND/OR a stick by whom he's being asked or coerced to report the information.
To a new, junior attorney at a law firm, the carrot could be in the form of a promise of a promotion if he "cooperates".
The stick could be something like the veiled threat of having a secret exposed to the State Bar, which might jeopardize the career advancement of a vibrant, young lawyer.
