We had our green card interview and was approved for my permanent GC. From there, obviously the next step was citizenship within 3 years as I was married to a US citizen. However, things went sideways and instead of staying in a damage relationship, we talked it over and decided it was best to end it.

Being in different states and work just having most of our time, we have yet to go through the divorce paperwork so nothing has been filed or sent to court therefore technically married. My 3 years will be by end of year. Seeing that we're still married, can i still proceed with applying for citizenship? Does this me just entail going to USCIS and taking the test or is there another interview? Does she need to attend anything else or is at this point just me? Any info would be helpful. If i can't then i don't mind waiting the 5 years but just wanted to ask since i was curious.

Thanks in advance.
