I got married in the U.S. right after renewing my F1 visa.I filed for I-485 one year after getting married. Should I be worried?

I went to high school in the U.S. and have been under F1 visa (since 2012). I went home every year since 2012 to renew my visa up until college. I met my spouse in High school, after 3 years of dating, we decided to get married in June, 2016. However, I went home the month before and got my F1 visa renewed (May, 2016.) We then traveled to my country for 2 months as our honey moon (July-August 2016)- I did not have any problem entering the U.S again after our vacation. Since she enjoyed it so much, we then took another trip to my country during winter break (Dec 2016 - Jan 2017). 
After everything, we decided to fill out all the paper work (I-864, I-130, I 485, and I-765) and filed everything in August, 2017. I now just got an Employment Authorization Document from USCIS and also got a job here in the U.S. 
We are currently waiting for the USCIS to reply back- my concern is that will they accuse me for using intent to use non-immigrant visa (F1) to obtain immigrant status?? I've also read about 30/60 or 90 days rules which I don't know if that will rule against my case. 
Our marriage is 100% real and I have been really worry after reading about different cases related to the 90 days policy

No not something to worry about. Intent is determined at the U.S. border and will have no effect on your I-485. Enjoy your life and don't lose sleep about this.
