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.
