How long does a deported person have to wait until s/he will be able to re-enter

It depends on a variety of factors. Why were they deported?

I have heard of ten year bans for immigration fraud. Some people are banned for life for certain other crimes. If you give us a bit more detail, someone may be able to help.

My brother's friend just got deported for using one of the student visa scam schools. Pay the money get the student visa. This was visa fraud not immigration fraud. Anyone know the length of time on the ban?

I'm no expert, but I know a few that have been deported. I think it's like 5 years if you've been in the States legally and left under your own free will, but 10 years if you are actually deported. There are a few waivers that the person can apply for to gain reentry, but they are difficult to be approved.

a friend was deported for falling out of status on a student visa, he didn't sign up for classes one semester and arrested for an un paid traffic ticket, then city police ran an inmigration check... I asked him a bunch of Q after that.
They gave you a paper saying how long you have be on "watch". that means that if during that time ICE catches you illegally they can hold you in federal prision. That is considered illegal entry and is a felony. However if you have been deported it is up to the interviewing official wether to give you a visa or not.

I was at the Federal Detention Center last weekend visiting the brother in-law of a friend of mine. They pulled him over for not wearing his seatbelt and checked his legal status. He'll be on his way back to Mexico next week.
