Question about past stays

[HamWelder 1]

Spouse was brought as a child to the US in the 90's, and were given an order of deportation. Few months later they were granted TPS giving them legal stay. My spouse moved out of the country and has an extensive travel history, she was granted a B1/2 visa just recently. The consular officer actually said before issuing the visa, that she does not have any unlawful presence bar against her. What does that mean regarding her entering the US for the first time again? I assume the order of deportation is a non factor anymore?

She can expect extra  scrutiny when she arrives at the port of entry.

I guess that means only secondary processing? There wouldn't be a reason to outright deny her entry automatically based on the order of deportation in the 90's then, since the visa officer granted the B1/2 with their research done. Right? (I understand that CBP also makes a decision on entry and entry isn't automatic)

possibly. It could be resolved in primary inspection.

It will come down to the strength of her ties to her country of residence versus that of the USA
