Why wouldn't you have good chances? You have stellar scores. Since you have no US experience, you'll have to apply to programs that don't ask for it. Or apply to all programs and hope that they look at your scores and determine that you don't need the US clinical experience. And you have a green card. Why do you think that you would have problems? raised eyebrow
