If you already have a cofounder, a product, a network, and a six month plan with enough funding to keep you alive until launch, I can't see any point in moving right now.

Even without the visa issues, moving to another continent takes a lot of time and effort, and will eat up a significant fraction of those six months. (Visa issues have been discussed to death in other threads, but they're likely to be a problem too.) Even just the effort of packing all your stuff, getting on a plane, finding a new place to live and work, and buying all the stuff you need to keep you going in the short term is likely to occupy a lot of your attention for many more months than you might think.

+1 to the above. Also, who are you selling to? If your primary market is based in the EU, sounds like you should work on getting positive cashflow (i.e. getting out there and selling among your current network) and then think about SV.
