Unless you are a citizen of the US or are in the US on an immigration visa, you are not eligible to obtain a US Ham Radio License.
I read different at www.arrl.org/getting-licensed
anyone may hold one except a representative of a foreign government
I even found organizations here in Germany, where I can have my exam and get a US call sign. amateurfunk-info.npage.eu/us-lizenz.html

If you decide to operate without a license, you will be caught (we are very protective of our spectrum space) and you will be fined $10,000 and imprisoned for one year for each day of your illegal operation.
I never had the thought of operating a ham radio without a proper license
