So I moved here on a K-1 visa 5 years ago, but things have been very rocky and maybe heading to divorce... I never became a duel citizen but I would like to stay in the US, I'm not sure of my options. if I'd have to get another visa after the divorce? if someone would shed some light i would really appreciate it.

You are a 10 yr. green card holder and therefore a permanent resident... you can stay as long as you want.... divorce does not take it away from you. You also can apply for citizenship at anytime after 5 years from your RESIDENT SINCE date on your green card even if divorced.

YMMV

Since you have your 10y GC a divorce will not change your status in the US. The only thing that will be different is that you'll have to meet the 5 years of residency to apply for citizenship instead of 3 years if you were still married. You are almost at that 5 year mark anyways so not to big of a deal.

I'm sorry things aren't working out for you and your husband.
