I'm going to go way left field. If by being an immigrant (I assume you are having trouble getting residency) you are being bound into slavery (that's my term for working on something you hate, just to earn money) then have you considered relocating to somewhere else where you can have more freedom and possible pursue something truly innovative? As much as many people will argue otherwise, startups by their very nature are demanding, exhausting and exciting places to work. With strong family commitments you might find it hard to find a mutually acceptable lifestyle balance.
