Well no. it would not affect but be prepared to answer questions at your interview. I'm assuming you are filling abroad now right?
what happened is that when you enter in the U.S and you were married to a U.S citizen your visa type is not longer a visitor. It's a spouse visa now which you are filling for it now. You will be fine. no fraud commited.

My case is similiar. Me and my husband were married and I entered the U.S on a visitor visa while married(the officer did not ask me if I was married, so they let me in). we consulted to an atty bc we wanted to adjust my status. if I would've stayed and adjust my status I would've been accused of visa fraud so I had to come back to my country while the atty and my husband filled the paperwork. Lawyer said I should be prepared to be hammered during my interview but my case is a lot stronger since I came back and did not adjust status(which not fraud commited). I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. just try to answer as honest as possible!! Good luck in your journey!!

I wondering what kind of questions/answers lead to further questioning and bag searches. I visited 5 times on VWP in 2014, 4 times in 2013, 4 times in 2012. I have never been questioned beyond the usual "what's your purpose and how long are you staying?" type questions. I was once asked what job I do and what job he does. I was once asked how we met. On my most recent visit at Thanksgiving I said I was married and visiting my husband. The officer seemed more interested in why I was carrying a big winter coat through LAX when it was pleasantly mild and I explained I was in transit to my husband's hometown where there was deep snow. I showed him my flight itinerary and he was happy.

I've never had my bag searched. Which airport was this? Is this normal procedure and I've just been lucky? Or was this extremely bad luck for the OP to be investigated further?
