If my parents were deported 9 years ago, can they get a visit visa and come to my graduation?

I am a citizen and a student and here alone. I really want my parents to come to my graduation. I want them to come for just for a few months. Is that in any way possible? I would love to know any procedures I can follow to remove their bar of which they have less than a year left so that they may join me here for my graduation ceremony in the spring.

It really depends on the conditions of their deportation order in terms of how soon after the deportation they are able to apply for a visa to the US.  If they are subject to a bar to reentry for 10 years, then they will not be able to come until that time period has been satisfied.
