I applied to get a green card for my brother and his wife in July 2004. Their application was approved. They have been married for ten years. What will happen to my brother's green card situation if they get divorce?

Your brother’s immigrant visa petition should not be affected by the divorce. You may want to notify USCIS or the National Visa Center depending upon where the case is currently located once the divorce is final. You will need to make sure all future forms are changed to indicate he is divorced. Your brother should also make sure to obtain a certified copy of the divorce decree as he will need it later in the processing of his case.
