1) Getting divorced can take time. Mine took 18 months.

2) I don't think you're supposed to file until six months before the GC expires.

3) Why don't you just go back to England? I've been there, it's nice. Lovely old buildings, cheese and onion sandwiches, 99% humidity, what's not to like? Unless you're here for the GC, and not the wife...

what do i do about my visa?

I don't think you have a (valid) visa anymore. Visas are for visitors. If you hold a green card you have become a (conditional) permanent resident, and that overrides every visa that might still be stamped in your passport.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
