It depends. 1. If you petitioned the foreign national as a K-1 fiance and you entered the marriage within 90 days of entry and in good faith, it shouldn't matter that you are divorced. 2. If you married the foreign national and then petitioned for him with an I-130, the adjustment will probably be denied at interview. 3. If you married the foreign national and divorced him before filing anything, he is likewise out of luck, unless you physically abused him or subjected him to extreme cruelty, in which case he might be eligible for relief under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which also protects men. 4. Depending on his Immigration status and educational background, he may have another basis for adjustment to permanent residency (i.e. through an employer or as a self-petitioning extraordinary ability case, etc.). In any case, the foreign national should see an immigration attorney immediately.

It depends on the extent of time you have been a resident. If you are permanent resident, you will not lose your visa.

I want to divorce my immigrant husband?
As a U.S. citizen, you would divorce your immigrant husband in exactly the same way that you would divorce a spouse if he was a citizen. I am not sure from your question, but if your husband's green card status is still pending, then divorcing him during the process will affect this application. If your husband was granted a conditional green card, his permanent residence privileges may be revoked if he is divorced within two years from the date this status was granted.
