Hey. I flew to Detroit last November to visit my girlfriend and was turned away by CBP due to medical reasons and intent not determined. They gave me a refusal stamp on my passport and sent me on the next flight home then told me I would need to acquire a visa if I am to enter the US again. Will the stamp have any effect on future travel and is it worth applying for a new passport? Thank you.

We live in a digital world.  New passport or not, they know who you are and they have a record of what they did.

A new passport?  Why?  You are on their radar......and any visa or ESTA you held is no longer valid.

a history of visa rejection can cause the issuing officer to spend a few extra minutes on your file.

I just hope this doesn’t effect my fiancé visa in the end

It depends on exactly why you were refused entry.  Usually, people are denied entry due to suspected immigrant intent.....which would not affect a an immigrant visa or a K-1. An inadmissible medical condition could affect any future entry attempts.

Insufficient funds as I wired my money to my girl to avoid conversion taxes... I made some mistakes on my ESTA also, I stated no medical conditions but I suffered from minor depression which they deemed more severe than it actually was. My work history was also unemployed when I inputted my previous employment, I was 100% truthful to the word. 
 

With my situation would you recommend hiring a lawyer when I attend my interview? We didn’t want to pay the extra lawyer fees but will do so if absolutely necessary. 
 

Thanks!

If they didn't place you under a ban, I see no need for an attorney....just my opinion.  Just continue to be honest on all questions.....good luck.
