Are you saying that the person was deported 17 years ago because he was convicted of a crime? Are you saying that he is in the U.S. right now? What was the crime? Was there more than one conviction?
If he is in the U.S. right now, he's deportable as an Illegal entrant.
If there was only one removal and the removal was more than 10 years ago, the person would not be subject to section 212(a)(9)(A)(ii), which is good.
If the crime involved moral turpitude or a controlled substance, it is enough to prevent him from getting a new visa. A waiver of the ground of inadmissibility is possible, but not guaranteed. It depends on the crime.
With a little more information, your question could be answered.

It does not matter the amount of time. I know this Jamaican that will be deported that was arrested for a crime 14 years ago, at that time the crime was not a aggreviated felony. He went to renew his green card and was arrested and was ordered for deportation.

if he has not complied with the the deportation order, he has to leave before applying for status again. and if he had a green card before and it was taken away he may have committed a crime that will bar him from getting status again.

No. If he has been ordered deported for a crime and has fallen thru the cracks and not deported, it is still on his record.
Sorry.

Depends on if it's a felony. And who the judge is.

If it was a felony, he should be deported.
