In general, yes, foreign citizens who are eligible can become residents of the USA and later citizens.
Based on the facts in your post, I do not see how your father can become a USA citizen or a resident, unless you didn't provide all relevants details . A person must establish eligibility for residency first. Then, if approved and after meeting all citizenship requirements, one can apply for US citizenship. Being in the USA for 10 years doesn't grant him residency or citizenship by itself.
