Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

I just became a US Citizen and I petition my mother who entered legally with a B2 visa ten years ago. I filed an I-130 along with a I-485 and I-765.

She tried to adjust to Permanent Resident status with her husband who is Cuban and she us Colombian, about three years ago.. The petition was denied because he is not a permanent resident due to criminal convictions.

She is still married to him and they are still together. She received her work permit and after it expired she continued working and filing taxes every year.

What could be the worst case scenario at the interview? Her three daughters are here in the United States.

Thank you for your help.

What happened when her previous I485, application for adjustment of status, was denied (filed based on marriage to her husband? Did she file I-130 and I-485 at that time or only I-130? Was she referred to Immigration Court?
