A waiver may reduce the time.

It is a ten year bar that may be reduced by applying for certain waivers. Such waivers are very difficult to prove.

It depends on the underlying reason for the deportation as well as any other immigration or criminal problems. If she is eligible, then she can file for the waiver to forgive the immigration violations and have the immigrant visa issued for her return.
