Take Step 3
Get good US LOR's (do externships/observerships/research).
Forge Contacts within the programs with people who can put in a good word for you
Apply wisely and widely
Write a good PS
Be ready with answers to explain the attempts and what you have been doing since graduation.
I am not reinventing the wheel here but work hard and stay focussed. All the best
