Question about visa process and visiting

So i just finished getting through secondary inspection at Pearson Int'l airport where the first CPB agent tried telling me that just crossing the border to visit my husband for a few days would cancel our pending I-130 and when I politely said that wasn't the case she instructed me to proceed to secondary inspection where I waited over an hour just to be told I shouldn't have been sent in there in the first place. Just asked a couple questions about how far into the process we are, how often I visit and how much longer we expect to be waiting. Hell the nice man told me to thank my husband for all he has done for his country (soldier) and sent me on my way.

I was just asked by my father if this act of being pulled into secondary inspection would have any impact on my I-130 application. Logically I am pretty sure after being on this site for awhile I know that this is probably not the case, but I just wanted to get all of your input. Will this secondary inspection have any negative repurcussions?

No.

It's always disappointing when you know more than the CBP officer. They really should not be venturing opinions on things outside of their official remit under the colour of their authority; it's like your mailman suddenly trying to diagnose your heart murmur.

Disappointing is the mildest word to use in the situation. With the exception of the very polite man who told me I shouldn't have been there and most of the agents in secondary were rather unprofessional. There was another young woman in there who said she had been there for over 2 hours, missed her flight already, and had been told nothing. I think part of it may have been due to the unfortunate timing of being sent in during the lunch hour/shift change, but I am somewhat tempted to write in to comment on the attitude of the agents (there is a sign in there outlining how they will behave with you).

Right now I am just thankful I still have a couple hours to indulge in free unlimited booze and food while I wait for my flight and hopefully this will be the last time I have to worry about all of this. I will chalk it up to a learning experience if anything else

Thank you for your surprisingly quick reply. Helped calm my nerves.
