No it doesn't. It only matters if a student's spouse is an US Citizen. F1 is a non immigrant visa and student is not allowed to have an immigrant intent.A student can no longer prove non immigrant intent if you are married to USC (Note: H1B is a dual intent visa and it is perfectly legal to have an immigrant intent). Therefore a student on F1 can be denied entry at POE if his/her spouse is USC.

Solution: Enter on fiance visa or a Green Card.
