Your prospects of holding your conditional LPR depends on the reasons for the divorce. If it involves a reason to which you have a defense, then your status may not be jeopardized. So you should consult a local attorney to review the possible grounds of divorce your spouse may have in the marital relationship to infer possible immigration consequences.

You need to wait for the divorce to be finalized and file by yourself.
