Houston Dynamo forward Alberth Elis and defenders Maynor Figueroa and Alejandro Fuenmayor have received their green cards from the United States government, the club has confirmed.

The card grants an individual authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. 

As a result, Elis, Figueroa and Fuenmayor will be designated as domestic players by Major League Soccer and will no longer occupy international slots in the Dynamo squad.
