You don’t have a US issued credit card, so how do you pay for stuff? For that you may purchase iTunes Gift cards (be sure they are for the US store) get em from PCGAMESUPPLY or DataBlitz. That’s it.
The 1st thing to download in the US iTunes store: Google Maps, the 2nd is Scribblenauts Remix.
HTH.

Update: 10-Jan-2014

I have been having issues with PCGAMESUPPLY my orders via CC or PayPal were being automatically cancelled by their system, so I decided to look for another online shop to get iTunes Gift Cards.

Bought a 50$ gift card from TunesCodes.com
