I 601 waiver -Purpose of the Form: For an alien who is ineligible to enter the United States to apply for a waiver of excludability.

I-212 Waiver -Purpose of the Form: Persons who wish to enter the United States legally after being deported, removed or who have voluntarily departed the U.S. without an order of deportation may reapply for admission to the United States, if they meet certain qualifications.

it is possible that you might have to file both. How long was your finance in the US before they got deported?
