father and stepmother divorced after I-130 - any chances to get her green card?

Hi!
I petitioned for my father and my stepmother to come to USA, and just got notice that my I-130 petitions got approved. But then I received a call from my father saying that he divorced my stepmother, they just finalized the divorce. They were married for over 20 years, ever since I was a child.
Is there still any chance she could get green card? She is the nicest lady, I really want her to be here.

Yes she can still get a green card if you have an ongoing relationship with her after the divorce (and evidence of the ongoing relationship).

What might be considered as evidence? We live in different countries, and we mostly email or skype each other. We do have a more close relationship with my stepbrother (her son) since he lives in USA and we visit each other a few times a year. Any other ideas?

Any evidence that is considered normal for a parent-child relationship. Is your step-brother a US citizen?
