Doing a startup is much harder than this problem of time or focus.
Many people are not good with anxiety/uncertainty about income, and you have additional issue around your visa. And remember doing startup has two costs - first is the opportunity cost of the income you are no longer making, second are any real costs around your business beyond your sweat equity.
If you have a solid day job, one option is to moonlight or work on your night-time project (non-competitive to day job) until you start to see traction or revenue around the idea, then you can make a decision to bail on the day job to be full time on your startup to scale it. There is no sure time frame for getting to that point. But maybe it will be different way for you to think about night hours, that you are experimenting with ideas, not trying to do two jobs at once indefinitely.
