Have you visited Silicon Valley??? There is a good saying "the only thing holding yourself back is yourself". If you are a reasonably competent programmer, you will find work in the Valley. There are dozens of large companies and there are literally hundreds of startups. If you are really serious, take a 1 week vacation. Hang out in Mountain View, Palo Alto and San Fran. Attend a tech meetup every night and talk to people. You will find a job. If your only goal is to live/work in the valley, it really isn't that hard. - I assume you can code and don't have visa issues (but Visa issues can be overcome for competent coders).
