I have been in that position many times. But with a family and a visa to worry about, I could never just quit. I work on my project(s) on the side. I launched one app in my spare time (in ~10 months) and I am working on my second app (hoping to launch within the next 5 months). These side projects also help me keep my sanity at my day job.

Keep in mind that your family is the most important thing in this world. Do whatever is needed to keep their future secure. So for now, I have decided to keep my dilbert day job, until the US decides that I can work for myself without any strings attached.
