To be honest, if you’ve never interacted with the US government you can let sleeping dogs lie.
For example if you’re born in a foreign country to a US citizen who can pass down citizenship. You’re a US citizen, but there is no record of it. USCIS doesn’t know, the IRS doesn’t know. Nothing will ever happen if you travel to the US on a foreign passport.
I know a couple people in Canada like this.

- refurb 4y agoStreamline filing. Do last 3 years of filing and FACTA and you’re good. And if come from a country with higher taxes than the US you’ll owe $0.
- albert_e 4y agodon't travellers to US on any type of visa need to fill up lengthy forms called DS-160 where you declare details about your parents and their nationality, your own nationality and citizenship,answer questions about whether anyone in your family is a US citizen, and then swear that you are being truthful?
- refurb 4y agoSure but citizens of 60+ countries don’t need a visa at all.
