The short answer is no.  Deportation for an aggravated felony (obviously not what it sounds like), does create a life-time bar from returning to the US.  There is no waiver available even for humanitarian reasons.  Your only hope is to challenge your conviction after-the-fact.  If it can be overturned, you can request to re-open your immigration case.

Since you did not appear in court it is likely that your were ordered deported/removed in absentia. If so, you are barred from returning to the US for 5 years unless your case is reopened. Reopening a case requires filing a motion with the immigration court and you need the assistance of an immigration attorney. Also, if you are married to a U.S. Citizen and being petitioned by hear you may be eligible to file a I-212 to waive or reduce this bar if the motion to reopen is not granted.

In our office, we usually put all sons and daughters of the beneficiaries on the I-130 form. I note that the form itself does not limit the term "children"although the Immigration and Nationality Act defines children as being under the age of 21 and unmarried. Also, the form instructions refer to both "unmarried children"and "married children". Additionally, some of our clients are uncomfortable with the idea of leaving out any of the 21+-year-old children, and so we generally include them. If there is a reason for which our clients do not wish to mention such children, we will leave them out.
