Legal Question in Immigration Law in Louisiana

I'm a current student at University and I came here as H4 on my dad's H1B. We have a green card application in processing, and i have recieved EAD and Alien Number. Recently there have been issues with my dad, and I might want to leave the house. I want to know if he would be able to cancel my green card process (since we dont have green card yet) and whether I will be able to stop him or if I will have to apply again separately, change my visa, or something to the point and whether I will be deported if my dad takes me out of his dependancy. My scholarships are based on my getting my greencard, so if it gets stopped, I will lose them. Please advise me on my current options.

You are in USA in H-4 status because you are a dependant of your father, H-1B visa holder.

Your green card application is pending because you are considered a dependant of your father (again), who is a primary applicant, and you and your mother are dependents. This explains that your status and your being in USA at this time is dependent on you being able to qualify as a dependant of your father at least until your green card is approved or your status changed to another valid status.
