You may still be eligible to get your permanent green card even if you are divorced if you are able to prove, to the satisfaction of the USCIS officer, that the marriage was bona fide at the time it was entered into and through its termination.  The burden of proof is on you to provide sufficient supporting documentation to make that persuasive argument but it is very common situation.  Just be sure you gather and present all the documentation and evidence you can.
