There are usually one of two reasons why you have violated immigration law and may be facing deportation. The first is that you have an unlawful presence in the country. As you probably know, in order to stay in the United States lawfully, you need to qualify and hold a valid visa, green card, or other official permission documentation from the U.S. immigration authorities. Depending on how long you have stayed illegally, you may be deported and barred from returning for three years or ten years. In certain situations, we can seek legal forgiveness in the form of a waiver to these time bars.
Another common reason for deportation is being convicted of a criminal offense. You may be considered deportable if you are convicted of moral turpitude, fraud, larceny or intent to harm another as well or aggravated felonies like intent to rob or kill, spousal abuse or aggravated DUI. source: http://www.nolo.com
