First(off) I must appreciate yur zeal to go for a residency at this stage.
It all depends on u.Ye, it is very difficult but yur resolve to attain yur goal will ultimately determine yur success.
What have u been doing all these years? Were u working in some allied medical job,etc.
Moreover, yur previous failed attempts on the USMLE will also appear on yur USMLE transcript.U need to score very high,and take what ever specialty u get.Not requiring a visa will be somewhat helpful.U cannot afford any further failures in USMLE steps.
I donot want to discourage u, but it is really very difficult to get into a residency after so many years of yur medical school and at this age.But, if money is not a constraint then u can give it a try and hope for the best.
Good Luck!
