Yes, providing certain conditions have been met (such as: register for selective service if male of the right age, pay taxes, don't get convicted of crimes of moral turpitude, don't become a public charge). You also need to have met a particular residency requirement in the three years before you apply. Of course, for the vast majority of people all of these are easy - just pointing out it is not automatic! Someone on my home forum who has been through it says when you go for your citizenship interview, they have your entire USCIS file there and go through everything...

Voting, no need to carry the Green Card or register change of addresses and a citizen gas better rights to sponsor family. That's about all I can think of...

Citizenship gives you the right to vote, the right to run for public office (politics), the right to apply for federal employment, the right to stay out of the country for as long as you want, it protects you from being deported in case of criminal prosecution, and allows you to file for a US Passport. As a permanent resident (green card holder) you can lose your green card if you spend more that 6 months/year out of the country. You can also be deported if you commit certain crimes.
I see, thanks Britsimon
Thanks for the enlightenment my brother

i believe that if applicant meets the minimum requirement, comes with the necessary documents and CO not very strict on minor errors then for sure many people should get the visa. I think there is low visa approval rate in Ghana because:
1. Most of our people enter into the lottery without knowing the qualification criteria (education and job)
2. the desire to get agents out of the way has made CO to become very strict on all applicant especially those with minor error.

@aiguo
That is true bro though I had no error with my documents (only corrected ‘highest edu. completed ’ on the ds260), I understood the enthusiasm with which the CO scrutinized my documents. She spent over 30minutes comparing my info with that on her computer and when she was satisfied, she called me. I sat in a position rightly facing her direction so I saw everything.

sincerely i do think that checking all the documents against the names are in the right direction. i heard of a refusal case from Masa2 where the applicant had a compound surname but the agent used one of the compound surname as middle name. Also a case of refusal because of addition of middle name on DS 260. So I think the CO checking should not be a problem if you got all names and did not tick no first name/ no middle name/ no surname.

masa you said it well.
Ofcourse, the CO goes through all submitted documents thoroughly, while the applicant is waiting. He/ she makes the decision to either grant, put you on AP or deny the visa before the applicant is called for the main interview...
