My father is a legal permanent resident in USA, I'm 24 years single. Can I take the green card directly without the DV?

DV: I mean the DV2008 which is the green card lottery not the DMV

It depends. 21 years-old is the limit age for any citizen parent to ask for their single children. Now you are over 21 and even though he can ask for you, you need to remain single the entire time of the petition and the processing time is longer now. If you want to get it you should start applying for the petition asap!

Yes, but your father is only a permanent resident so it could take a number of years for you to get a green card. It would be easier if you waited until your father became a U.S. citizen. If he will be a U.S. citizen very soon, then I would wait until that happens. Otherwise, start the process as soon as possible because it takes a while. Also, you should try to remain single.

Sure, just take it down to the DMV in Mexico & then learn to spell DMV.

no the green card belongs to your father. you would be basically taking over someone else green card impersonation is a felony.
