More details to this question:
I was deported from the us in 2005. I had a small domestic case (non deportable) and removal was based on non compliance with F1 visa. I have a 6 year old in the us. I miss her so much. Could I get back in the US before the 10 year ban?

Only if you are granted a waiver.

Danielle please provide a general explanation of the options. We would be happy to advise you on your case. I would suggest setting up a phone consultation - we charge $350 per hour - but the amount paid for the consult would then be a credit toward the fees for your case if we are retained.

You can apply for a visitor visa and apply for a waiver of the 10 year bar. However, the visa is not likely to be granted given your prior F1 status violation, and because you have daughter in the U.S. While you may think having a US Citizen daughter would be a positive factor in getting the visa, it is actually a negative factor because the consulate will believe you are less likely to return home after your stay expires.
