If you are still married and do not have any criminal convictions or inadmissibility bars you can request a green card. Contact an immigration attorney to assist you in this process. A lot of attorneys including me offer fixed price green card services, make use of them.

All the best....

Take the average income that you have made for at least the last year and state that as your income in doing the affidavit. That is probably the best solution I can come up with right now. Go see an immigration attorney, as well. They rarely answer any questions here.
