                 I agree with your vibe here. You should have done the otherwise to get more hits and that would give your response such as, "oie ta pagal bhaies" or "jhukyauchas gadha" etc etc.... courtesy of our very profound educated respected Sajha community.

                 Coming back to your original question. There are numerous benefits if you apply for your citizenship. You could claim social security, Medicare and unemployment too. You wouldn't have to inform USCIS if you move with in 10 days filling the AR11 form. Your visa process would be much more smoother with US passport (if you wish to go to any other country traveling). Easier for you go through TSA despite that fact your are brown. You could even sponsor your family members who want to come to the USA (would take years and years but just for the heck of it). You would have the rights to vote in any election held in your state, district and presidency. Lets say you plan to go back home after all these years and you also decided to retire. Go to US embassy and reap the benefits of the taxes that you paid here. I've seen that been done. And apart from everything else, when you travel back to USA, in the port of entry the officer would smile and you and say, "Welcome back home sir." instead of glaring and you and suspecting you as a something else.

Good luck,
