Anzar sorry to hear about your failure.
I understand that you are highly disappointed in yourself right now.
but I think You should just keep trying. I am reasonably sure that you will match eventually. You might have to lower your expectation for the programs you are looking for.
With green card and decent scores you still have chance. You should try to get your step 2 cs done asap. Also with lots of practice. You did not mention which part you failed and with help of friends and practice you should be able to clear it if you focus on it.

Anzar,
Programs look at CK score more than CS. As long as you pass CS on your second attempt before match day, then you'll be able to match. Study well and try to schedule it ASAP. Usually CS slots are filled 6 months ahead of time. GL!

Dont worry too much on CS. You may have some programs cut you off (not because of CS failure) because you will have a delayed ECFMG status, but it certainly does not mean your match hopes are over.

A lot of programs require you to be certified by RANK season. You have plenty of time ! Take some time off, regroup, and apply for your exam again. Take it by the end of November. Yes, I know dates are full until next Jun/July, but if you sit in front of you comp and press refresh every 5 minutes, you will get a date. If you take it my November, you will have results by Jan/Feb, which means you made MATCH !

Believe me, it can be done. And it has been done. A lot of people applying for next year's match havent taken CS yet. And I DOUNT any program rejects you at rank time because they think you failed CS. As stated above, CK is so much more important.

Good luck........
