With a 7.55 CGPA, 323 in GRE General and 106 in Toefl, 1 year work experience, good SOP and LORS, which schools can I consider to be safe for admission in CS department?

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a safety school. One never knows exactly what a committee is looking for any particular year, but there are programs that are a better fit. Those are the programs you need to find because if you think you would really fit in, then it's likely they will think the same about you, IF you show them how well you would fit in your SOP. Just as there is no guaranteed free lunch, there is also no guarantee of getting admitted anywhere. To think otherwise, may be setting yourself up for a devastating let down. Assume everyone has scores/grades as good as yours. Your SOP and LORs must be outstanding to rise above the crowd.
