Also, apply for a replacement of your stolen green card using form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.

And now you are divorced. Yes, you can apply for citizenship now based on having been a permanent resident for 5 years. Go ahead with your application if you meet all the other eligibility requirements as well.

I understand that by now you would have completed your biometrics. Have you been scheduled for your citizenship test and interview yet? You need to be present for that. In case your travel dates coincide with the appointment date, then you would need to request USCIS to reschedule. But before that, if you have to travel, you may have to get your passport stamped with the I-551. It is best that you either call USCIS for info or visit the nearest local office.

You will have to first apply for a green card replacement. You will have to file Form I-90 and the fees for this is $450.

I know that you need to have filed all your taxes to be able to apply for citizenship. The cost for applying is $680. You may be able to apply for a waiver. Yours is a delicate situation, so the best way to get info is to call the USCIS at their toll free number. Hope this helps!

You could always call the USCIS to check.
