Which "third-world" country are you in?

If it is that bad, like civil-war-bad, then you could possibly try applying for refugee status (although that may restrict you as well).

Mexico, the country where the president couldn't even mention reading 3 books. And the preference polls being a candidate where way way off... Corruption and crime runs rampant.

It was already pretty hard in here, many new laws hampering growth, way too much corruption, poverty, and desperation. You can see it on their faces.

My family suffers...

If you have a college degree and work in certain professions then there is a separate visa process for Mexican citizens. You will need to get a job offer from a US company like an H1-B but if I recall unlike the H1B there is no limit to the number of visas issued.

Mexican here too. Please send me an email at kike@devf.mx, I'd love to connect you with a friend, he did exactly the same steps you're trying to achieve few years ago.
