I have a rather unique situation. I got divorced from the time of filing to the interview date (scheduled in July, 2008). I filed my application in April, 2006 through California service center. My ex-wife got her green card through me. She got her citizenship when we were still married. I am wondering if a) I should report this during the interview and b) If I need to carry any documents/etc. for the interview. Can someone please advise?

If you have not been married for 2 years, her GC will not get extended and become void if the intent was just the GC.
You have to mention it during the interview. Do you still intend to go for it? Your ex might not show up. Is this interview for her citizenship?

Divorce between filing and citizenship
The interview is for me. I applied for citizenship 3 months after she did. The green card was issued to me based on outstanding researcher category. She was the beneficiary. She filed from Maryland and got her citizenship approved in 2 months. Mine has taken more than 2 yrs for the interview.
I can mention it in the interview and as the green card was issued to me (she was a beneficary) I do not expect INS to create problems for me. But I am not sure how to approach this.Comment

As this is not a family based citizenship/green card deal, each of you have to qualify on your own for the citizenship based on number of years you had the green card.
Your interview will not be impacted at all due to this fact.
