By US standards your time is low, and if you don't have TPIC it's lower still.
Being foriegn will not hinder you, but typical civilians needs 6K-8K+ and at least 2k TPIC to really be on the radar of the good majors. It's possible to get called with much less, even less than what you have, but nobody knows what it takes to get called with low time. I suspect they might do it randomly, just to string along junior regional pilots, keeping their hope alive.
You could most likely get called by ULCC's in the US with your current experience (especially a bus operator).
Going to a regional would probably make you more competitive, sooner, but only you can decide if it's worth it. FYSA, there were several foriegn airline captains in my legacy new hire class.
