This is not correct -- any individual can choose to apply for a B2 visa in any country in which they are physically present. The chances of getting approved in a country where you do not hold citizenship or residency are severely reduced, however (unless you are applying at an embassy specifically designated to process visas for your nationality when the US does not process visas in your home country).

 

You're right -- applicants are recommended to apply where they have citizenship or residency, but it is not a rule.  I guess too many people, like the OP, think of trying for it in Mexico so the consulates there listed more specific criteria for applicants who are third-country nationals.

That’s useful info - do you know what those criteria are/have a link to a page that lists them?

 

P.S. there is one instance in which people do have to apply for B visas in their country of nationality, and that is where they have had a previous visa voided  (example for overstay)

Yes, from the official site (look under "Third-Country Nationals"): https://mx.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visas/

Thanks - looks like OP is flat out of luck from that list then, they don’t fit into one of the categories allowed to apply there even if the consulates we’re open for routine appointments.
