My father was deported about 7 years ago, and he is now 70 years old. Can I bring him back?

Most persons who have been deported have also been in the United States illegally for over one year and are subject to a 10 year bar not only because of the deportation but because of the illegal stay. For the illegal stay, a waiver is only possible if the qualifying relative is a US citizen or permanent resident parent or spouse. As the child, you would not qualify as a qualifying relative for an I-601 waiver application of excludability grounds. Your father will likely have to wait the 10 years before being able to immigrate to the US. unless there is a qualifying relative and extreme hardship to that individual can be established if the waiver application is denied.
