He cannot "cancel" your greencard. He is being vindictive & manipulative. I suggest getting yourself a good Family Law attorney & getting out the abusive situation asap (including, possibly, a restraining order against him)!!!

And, no, I don't foresee an issue with applying for naturalization if you get divorced.

I wish you a lot of luck & please stay safe!
