Connections!!! nod
Haven't you got any good personal connection through your time doing USCE? Interpersonal skill is the key to make a good connection.

Connection is the way to set your foot on the door. To get an interview. After that it depends solely on your performance. If programs don't see you as a worthy candidate, then they won't take you.

take the bull by the horns and ask them to assist you. let them know what your fears are concerning your years since grad and ask them if there is any way they can help you. if they ask what exactly you need, then tell them you will like them to speak on your behalf to PD's they know. you have absolutely nothing to lose. they will either do it or say they cannot do it. if you dont ask, they will not offer to assist you beyond the letters they have written for you. by the way, american graduates also have their mentors calling for interviews on their behalf.
