You seriously need some english courses for beginners.

Anyways, to answer your question once you become a naturalized citizen it is then when you can apply for your USA passport.

But for now you have your green card, you need to be eligible to apply for citizenship.

Which means you have to complete the term of staying in USA certain period.

Also you can marry a USA citizenship girl but if you already have a green card I don't think that will improve your situation any or make it faster, you are already on the path to citizenship. Unless for some reason you managed to not meet the requirements for citizenship and maintain USA greencard in good standings.

You are not eligible to apply under the 3 year rule, due to your divorce. Getting married again will make no difference.

So the 5 year rule applies.

The earliest you can apply for citizenship is 90 days before the 5th anniversary of the date your permanent residency was granted (if you came on an i-130, that would likely be the day you arrived in the U.S.).

As sn530 says, you can only apply for a U.S. Passport AFTER you obtain citizenship.
