I've been raised in the states since i was 3yrs. old but stayed there on a visa up until 7yrs ago. My family was never approved for a green card so we stayed there illegaly, and was told to leave by deportation cops and so we did. I've been in egypt for a year and I would like to go back with my fiance to meet his family and come back because all my family is here. I have nothing in the states. I'm 21 and he's 31.We want to get married but he's not muslim and I am. How can we get married so that it's legal and I can meet his family in the states? Will I be approved even though I had a deportation order? Will the embassy know that I was deported?And what type of documentation do I need to prove that I we're married? By the way he's working here in Egypt on a work visa...Shukran..Alsalam alaykum.

If you have been back in Egypt for a year, and you are 21, that means you were 20 when you left the U.S. That means that you had more than one year of unlawful presence after the age of 18. That means you are barred from getting a visa and from entering the U.S. for ten years from the date of your departure one year ago. You have another nine years to wait.
If you were ordered removed as a nonarriving alien, you are inadmissible for ten years from the date of the removal. Again, you have nine years to wait before that charge can no longer be applied.
You are statutorily ineligible for a visa of any kind until 2016. Everything that happened is in a computerized record, and the embassy and the border officers have access to those records. Question 38 on the visa application asks you if have been deported, if you have ever been unlawfully present, and if you violated the conditions of a previous admission.
In your case, the answer is "yes" to each part. Were you planning to misrepresent yourself when you applied for the visa? If so, you would be subject to a fraud charge which would prevent you from entering the U.S. for life.

If you were deported, I don't see any way that you CAN come back to the US. Deportation orders ban you from re-entry to the US for a number of years...usually 10. Waivers are rarely granted and only under dire circumstances. Wanting to meet his family probably wouldn't be considered dire -- especially as you have a history of illegal overstays.

Prior deportations are waivable by the I-212 form. Check the USCIS website for more info.
