Express entry for previously undocumented

Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for Express Entry as a couple (with me as the principal applicant). I’m currently in the US on a work visa, and my wife holds a derivative visa based on mine. Before moving to the US, my wife was undocumented in France. Although she now has legal status in the US through my visa, I’m concerned about whether her previous undocumented status in France could affect our Express Entry application. Has anyone had experience with this situation, or does anyone know if prior immigration violations in other countries impact Express Entry eligibility? Thanks in advance for any insights!
