The best way to figure out what your USCF rating would be is to play some OTB tournaments :). Find a club near you, its not that scary I promise.
USCF comparison with chess.com ratings

apart from the differences noted above, I believe they use the glicko (spelling?) rating equation.
Just a clarification here: USCF doesn't use Glicko. There is no time-dependency (RD factor) in the USCF rating system.
Yes, USCF does not use glicko. If they did, chess.com and USCF would be pretty close. USCF does have a feature for new players called provisional ratings though, where the rating does fluctuate a lot.
It's true that your CC rating doesn't directly predict your USCF rating, or vice versa, but it's silly to say they aren't correlated. As discussed in other threads, CC turn-based ratings tend to run ~300 points higher than USCF, give or take. There are exceptions but that's the trend.
(My USCF: 1531, CC: 1890)
How to have a USCF rating?
Are we assuming people are taking their time in correspondence though? Or just playing as fast as they would in bullet lol.

My blitz rating is 1366 and my uscf rating is 1800
there is a big I do not care factor. I do better when the pressure is on so in USCF I play better
