You would get it by playing a FIDE rated event in the US. The US Chess office automatically does the work needed.

If you're planning on travelling to a foreign FIDE tournament, you should contact the US Chess office for that

So is FIDE free then?

basically, but no, kinda? FIDE is free, if the tournament is, 100% it's not. So, you need to play in a FIDE RATED tournament to get a rating. You don't have to travel to Antarctica to get one.
