questions about visa lottery?

[dannyh86 3]

Hi, I have heard about the visa lottery but don't know how it works?Requirements? I have a brother that lives in Mexico that I would like for him to come over here, would he qualify? Does Mexico enter into this visa lottery? If yes then how would I enter him? Do you have to enter each year? Thanks

Sorry, Mexico doesn't qualify for the diversity visa lottery, and is unlikely to qualify for the next many years.

In any case, the entrance period has now passed for another year.
