None of followed by plurall noun takes a plural verb. This rule is given in Gmat Manhattan book. So, 'us' is plural and should take 'are' instead of 'is'.

yes you are absolutely right.It's my mistake none when followed by a plural countable noun always takes plural verb.

None of us will be followed by a singular noun. The usage of singular/Plural noun after none depends upon the context. (None of us= Not even a single person among us)
Remember this rule-
SANAM pronouns can be singular/plural,depending on the usage.
S-Some
A-Any
N-None
A-All
M-Most

As I far as I know none of+non-countable noun is followed by singular verb
eg:None of the work was done.
source: Oxford
and none of +countable plural noun is followed by plural verb
eg:None of these words are now currently used.
source:wren and martin
and if we talk about none only then it can take both singular and plural verb depending on the context
eg: Did you buy any mangoes?
There were none in the market.
Have you brought me a letter?
There was none for you.
source:wren and martin.

Just look at this eg:
None of these women is my wife.
None of these women are from India.
