No, it is illegal to come to the US as a visitor with the intention of getting married and staying.

Of course you have to get divorced before your fiance eveen APPLIES for a visa, otherwise you will both be committing visa fraud and that's a crime.

I have no idea about divorce rules for various states; there is a forum on this website for it where you might check..
To file the I-129f, I believe you BOTH must be 'free to marry'. That includes him submitting a copy of any final divorce decree (decree absolut, not nisi in UK). You might clarify with your divorce attorney 'when' exactly you are free to marry.

Perhaps starting your own thread here on the subject, or reading the boards at visajourney may be of help.
