If you have a conditional green card (valid for 2 years), divorce does not automatically revoke your status, but you must file Form I-751 with a waiver and provide substantial evidence that your marriage was entered into in good faith.

If you intend to apply for U.S. citizenship, divorce may affect the timeline; you will need to wait five years from receiving your green card, instead of three years typically allowed for those still married to a U.S. citizen.

While divorce can complicate the immigration process, especially for those with conditional status, it doesn’t automatically revoke your green card. The key is demonstrating that the marriage was bona fide. If you can provide strong documentation, you may still maintain your lawful status and proceed toward citizenship.
