Have you checked with your school advisors, surely other students have had this same question?

Pick a mid level American university. Write (email) to a professor in the physics department there. Pick one who is the graduate chairman or admissions chairman, or someone in the field you would like to enter.
Ask them whatever questions you have, and if it would be reasonable for you to apply to their graduate program. Personal contact with a physics department member where you might want to go is the best way to proceed.e
