The sad truth is that there are many, many people like you knocking at the door of the US wanting to get in, and most don't. Build your product. If it does well, revenue will (should) follow, and if you do need to move here to pursue more sales it'll make the visa process much easier. You can always apply to YCombinator and friends if you feel like your company could benefit from it, but don't let it distract you. The same way that an aspiring actor shouldn't focus on "being a part of Hollywood", but rather on going to auditions and getting parts, don't focus on being part of Silicon Valley. Focus on building your product and company. Things will naturally follow. Of course, this is assuming that your end goal is to build a company. If your end goal is to move to Silicon Valley, there are easier options (get a job here, or enroll as a college student in a US university in a STEM field, get a degree, which will allow you to work for 1+ years without a visa and will make your life easier for getting a visa)
