Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

Must I return to give deposition or can they come to me?

I used to work as a supervisor of a company that engaged in unlawful practices. As a result, I am a defendant in a lawsuit filed in federal court. I no longer live in that city.

Since I am a defendant, must I return to give a deposition? I was under the impression that expert witnesses who live far away have the deposition at their home city.
