A little confusing there, Rakesh, but I think you are saying that you came on a spouse visa 8 months ago, but your former wife divorced you two months after arrival OR two months ago. You are now looking to remove conditions on your green card for the 10 year residence?

If so, you will need to file for your RoC (Removal of Conditions) with a waiver for divorce. The paperwork you need to provide will be proof that your marriage was in good faith, in other words joint finances, family or friend group photos with both of you in, a letter from your ex stating it was a genuine marriage would be helpful but isn't strictly necessary (depends on if you are on good terms with her) and any other requested evidence on the information sheet that comes with the RoC document; and you will probably receive an RFE pending the paperwork showing that your divorce is complete (ie decree nisi/absolute).

As you will be divorced from your sponsor, citizenship requires 5 years of green card residency before you can apply.

Hope this helps.
