Natualization thru prior marriage, now remarrying

HI all, I have been visiting this forum for some time and now would like to post my question to get some advise or see if someone has been in similar situation as mine.

I gained citizenship based on marriage to US citizen spouse - 3 years rule, we were married for 6 1/2 years and have a kid together. Immediatly after my naturalization (2 days) we were separated and 20 days later filed for divorce (yes we have had issues before but always reconciled, not this time though). Divorced finalized within two months of my naturalization. It was a mutual decision and based on "irreconcilable difference". During divorce process, judge asked for how long we havent had 'relation' and we said for about 5-6 months so the divorce case was finalized quickly. At the time of Naturalization process, including Oath ceremony, I was living in same house hold with no divorce case pending, still was thinking that we will reconcile again. On Divorce decree, it states the date of separation as the date when I moved out, post Oath ceremony.

Now its been over 2 years since divorce, I would like to get remarried and sponsor my future wife. Would I be running into any kind of issues? I am in good terms with my ex and she is willing to testify, if needed, that we were still together up until the point i had my oath.

I will appreciate any input/advise in this regards. Thanks

Firstly, ensure that 5 years have passed since your PR status was approved based on marriage to a US citizen. Only then can you sponsor your new spouse.
Yes, it is possible that your new spousal relationship may get an extra look or two.
