It can be possible, provided that you can prove that your marriage to your American ex-wife was not a sham marriage with a sole purpose of immigration to USA, but was a 'bona fide marriage'. You will have to apply for a waiver, an exception to a joint filing requirement. If approved, then you can keep your green card.

If you require help or legal consultation, you are welcome to email my office to schedule a consult.

If your card expired in April of this year and you have not yet filed the I-751 petition to remove the conditions, your conditional status terminated by operation of law. You will need to file your I-751 as soon as possible and show good cause and extenuating circumstances as to why you did not timely file.

If your card expires in April of next year (ten months from now), you should begin preparing to file your I-751 as soon as possible. If you are divorced, you can file on your own. However, you will need to show you entered into the marriage in good faith and not for an immigration purpose. A seasoned lawyer will be able to help you in this process.
