Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Good day,

I have an important question. I am mexican, i have my american visa and I married an american (veteran) in december 2014. I will apply for the residence but my question is that when i was 15 years old i crossed the U.S. border with my sister and her friends who were 18 years old and all of them said that they were american citizens which they included me because they didn't want to open the back part of the car to take out the visas from the purse. As the officers checked the car then my sister said that her visa was on the back. So the officers took all of the visas away and all of them got 3 years without Being able to enter U.S.A. and I got 1 year since I was 15 years old. When the year passed my parents took out my visa without any problem and supposedly nothing was registered because I was 15 years old. Will i have a problem to take out my residence because of this? Does the immigration law of september 30, 1996 apply to a minor in this case? I will wait for your answer.

Thanks,
