If you will never live in the US, you should renounce your citizenship. This will be permanent and irrevocable, so consider it wisely. This eliminates any issue with not filing taxes while working overseas.
In order to renounce my citizenship I have to file atleast 5 years to IRS lol. So even if I want to renounce my citizenship it's currently not possible to do so because I haven't filed in my life.
In order to "file" taxes I also require a social security number which I don't have. I honestly don't know where to find it lol.
I suggest just not saying anything about it ever, and just tell the US govt you're not a citizen at all if they ask.
Considering that he learned about his citizenship from a US immigration officer, lying about his citizenship is probably a criminal offense.
