Your question doesn't contain enough information about where you are in the process. One must know more details, such as how were you sponsored to be a legal permanent resident (e.g., based on your husband's U.S. Citizenship)? And whether you are now applying for US citizenship based on already having been granted legal permanent residence for three years (after you had been married to your US Citizen husband). Also, would need to know on what basis your children are waiting for their green cards (based on your husband's US Citizenship and marriage to you?) If all of the above is true, then a divorce may affect your ability to obtain your Citizenship, as well as your children's ability to get their green card if they are not your husband's blood children as well or he did not adopt them. You may contact our office off line at 415-387-1364 or email: [email protected].
If your citizenship application is based on your marriage, it will get affected. If your citizenship application is based on your 5-year green card, you might be ok.
If your husbnad sponsored the green card application for your children, it will affect them once you get divorce.
We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.
