Is there someone who lives in the US who can co-sign with you? It shouldn't be surprising that people who don't live in the US have trouble getting unsecured credit in the US. Creditors want to at least have the option of suing if there's a default. Suing someone who doesn't live in the country is a lot more complicated.

I'm American and 90% of my banking/bill payment is done on the US side. I still get plenty of snail mail to my US address, as well. I don't think the credit reporting agencies are aware of my physical location.

Is your snail mail address an actual residence, or is it something like a PO Box?

Actual residence. Childhood home.
