Dreaming of a new life in the United States, where endless opportunities for career advancement await and where you can experience the diverse cultural melting pot? The Green Card Lottery could be your gateway to this exciting journey.

The path to living in the United States through the Green Card Lottery, or the Diversity Visa Program, is a sought-after route for many Mexican citizens. But it's laden with intricate rules and tight submission deadlines. Sadly, each year, simple mistakes cause numerous applicants to miss out on this opportunity. The US government's stringent review process leaves no room for error, and no feedback is provided on unsuccessful applications.

This is where our expertise becomes your asset. We recognize the importance of your application and the level of accuracy it demands. Our team rigorously checks each part of your application, ensuring it adheres to every requirement set by US authorities. With our support, your aspiration to live in the United States is more achievable than ever.

Are Mexican citizens eligible for the Green Card Lottery?

Mexican citizens by birth are generally not eligible for the Green Card Lottery.

The key reason for this is that Mexico is one of the countries from which more than 50,000 nationals have migrated to the United States in the past five years. The Green Card Lottery aims to diversify the US immigrant population, and as such, countries with high levels of recent migration to the US are often excluded.

While the list of eligible countries can change each year, Mexico, along with nations like Canada, China, India, and the United Kingdom, usually remains excluded due to these high migration numbers.

Despite this, there are specific scenarios where Mexican nationals might still be eligible:

  1. Eligibility through marriage: If you are married to someone born in a country that qualifies for the lottery, you can apply based on your spouse's country of birth. In this case, both partners must be listed on the application, fulfill all the requirements, obtain diversity visas, and enter the US together.

  2. Eligibility through parents’ birthplace: If you were born in Mexico but neither parent was born or legally resided in Mexico at the time of your birth, you might be eligible through the birth country of one of your parents, provided it's a country eligible for the lottery.

For Mexican citizens who don't meet these specific conditions, other legal avenues to the US are available. Applying for immigrant visas can be an option. For shorter or temporary visits, such as for business or tourism, the B1/B2 Visa or the Laser Visa are suitable alternatives. These visas offer multiple entries during a 10-year validity period, making them convenient for brief visits to the United States.
