Do What Jeanne suggests, and retain all paperwork. You are now a battered spouse. I would at least do a consult with an attorney.

Here is the way I see all this as far as your green card and citizenship.

Your still married. Divorces take time.

You qualified for the 10 year green card..... results can come in a few days or weeks

You qualified to file your N400 and passed the interview and tests.

Just let life happen and take your benefits. You are still married and maybe for a while.... see what happens

As long as you do not get legally divorced before approval, there is nothing to do at this time but wait.
