Yes, your situation will raise some questions for the interviewing officer. Try to not take it personally. Even if the “red flags” are not real in your case, the IO will approach approval with caution and this will require robust questioning.
Be well prepared, well documented, answer simply and honestly, don't offer what isn't asked for, stay calm and respectful.
