It's not absolutely clear from your post what is your immigrant status. Are you a permanent resident or conditional resident (with a 2-year green card)? Even a conditional resident has a green card (conditional card).

If you keep your residency after divorce (which could be possible), then you can eventually become a US citizen whether married or not.

The question now is to remove conditions from residency (if you are conditional resident). I suggest, you consult a good immigration lawyer.
