Since you will become an international student you will have to take a test for English proficiency either the ILETS or the TOEFL
you need to research which school you should attend and what fits you, is it a community college or a 4-year university.
This search depends on your budget, qualifications, interests,...etc
Then after you make the college list apply to them, many colleges open their early decision and early action applications in November. Make sure you fill these applications before the deadline.
I would like to suggest you that, you should get excellent grades in your high school at first
Try looking at US news for strong phsyics program and look at each college you're interested in international student page and other info.
To keep this community safe and supportive:
Overall I think your suggestions are mostly right! The one thing is that I don't think international student can apply for US Federal Student Aid (through FAFSA). I think there is a different process for them, and I'd suggesting look at the websites of the schools you are interested in!
