Green card can be got through employer,marriage, relative and diversity visa lottery.

To obtain a green card there are many ways: through employment, a family member or marriage. You must be sponsored by a family member in the U.S. in order to apply for a Family-Based Green Card by petitioning using Form I-130. To apply for an Employment-Based Green Card, a foreign applicant must be sponsored by a qualifying U.S. employer who files Form I-140.

Individuals who obtain a Green Card through marriage to a U.S. Citizen are granted "Conditional" Green Card status, which is only valid for two years. Individuals who have been granted Conditional Green Card Status are required to apply to remove the Conditions on their Green Card within 90 days of the date that their Conditional Permanent Resident status expires.After conditions are removed the applicant is issued a green card valid for 10 years.If married to U.S. Citizen you may apply after 3 years with valid green card for US citizenship.

Is there any problem getting green card if you marry US citizen who is divorced with 8 years kid and 13 years elder than you?

Marrying a US citizen just to get a Green Card is illegal, no matter how old said US citizen is, and no matter whether the reason that he/she is eligible to marry is because he/she is single or divorced, and no matter whether he/she has children. That said, assuming the Green Card applicant is really and truly in love with the US citizen, and the marriage is real and not just a contrivance so that the non-US citizen partner may more easily obtain a Green Card, then neither the age of the US citizen partner, nor whether or not he/she has children, are relevant. Of course, said US citizen must be eligible to marry, which means that he/she must be single, or divorced or widowed. Marrying a US citizen does not necessarily guarantee that the non-US citizen partner in the marriage will be able to obtain a Green Card. To learn more, go to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services web site at: http://www.uscis.gov If you cannot get the information you seek there, consult with an immigration attorney.
