If your Green Card was approved through an employment-based category, such as EB-1, EB-2, or EB-3, getting divorced after approval does not automatically mean losing your immigration status.
If the couple was legally married when the Green Card was approved, the dependent spouse has already obtained their own lawful permanent resident status.
