Cancelled Licence question
When I moved I wanted to have I.D and I obtained an MN driving instruction permit and when it was being processed I was sent a letter asking to provide a residency document as my i-94 was expiring (status check) so I provided my NOA and was accepted.
I later received a letter for an updated residency document to be handed in by 1st Dec but was waiting for my EAD card to arrive, and when it did I completely forgot about this as my head was too focused on finding employment.
I received a letter a few days ago saying my license will be canceled effective 8th Dec, I went in the next day (7th Dec) and completed a new application and showed them all of my documentation (EAD card and i797). My instruction permit card was punched, a new picture taken and I got my new yellow papers, the lady told me my current status is valid and it will change to canceled then once processed be valid again and I will receive my new card in 3-4 weeks. She said they just cancel it as they need to wait for proof that you are legally residing here,
Will having this on my driving record of a canceled license for status check affect me obtaining my green card or becoming a citizen?

Re: Cancelled Licence question
Sat here wondering what the hell is a MN instruction permit. Thought perhaps a gun license? Your last line explains you are speaking of a driver's license.
No, the cancellation will have no bearing on your eligibility to naturalize in 5 years (if you are not married to a USC) or on your obtaining a green card.
