I-130 will not be affected if you leave the US, either on your own orare deported. An approved I-130 cannot do you any good unless you can either adjust your status in the US to permanent resident or, if you are outside of the US, receive immigrant visa from American Consulate. If you have unlawful presence in the US for more than 6 months and then left the US, you are subject to the 3 year bar; if more than 1 year unlawful presence, you will be subject to the 10 year bar once you leave the US. Again, it does not matter if you leave on your own or are deported. if you are subject to the bar, you mat apply for waiver. However, waiver is very difficult to get so please consult with immigration lawyer for advise.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, (and) advise you of your options.

Depending on the section of law under which you were convicted and the sentence imposed, you could have two crimes involving moral turpitude. The effect of that would be that the government will deny your Naturalization application and move to rescind your Lawful Permanent Residence. You should have an immigration attorney look at your convictions and give you a legal opinion on their possible consequences on your status.
