If you have petitioned for your brother his divorce will have no effect on his application but it will mean his ex-wife can no longer immigrate through your petition. Any of their children would still be eligible to be included if unmarried and under 21.

If they are still waiting for the immigrant visa, nothing will happen. He will process when the Visa is available and she will not.

His marital status is not relevant to your petition for him. He will get his permanent residence.

If your brother has his permanent resident card then the divorce will have no effect he should be able to become a citizen after five years. However if the his green card is conditional 2 year then his status is in jeopardy if they divorce. Good luck!
