I am from a 3rd world country. I was kind of believing in the notion of “pursuit of happiness”. I studied hard worked hard to make it into a FAANG so that I can live a decent life in a developed country and support my family and parents. Now it appears that I have risked the livelihood of my family for my stupid ambitions.

Your ambitions are not stupid but perfectly sensible and laudable. Unless there is something you didn't tell us you just have been really unlucky. So although your current situation sucks and must be very stressful, try not to lose heart and keep a cool head even if it's very difficult. If there is a signed contract, you have some legal avenues open to you and there are probably also quite a few people here on HN who would like to help you if they can. Finally unless you already tried that, it's also possible that either your last employer or one of the places that you rejected would still be willing to take you on if you explain to them what happened. And even if lost your apartment, you might be able to afford staying in youth hostels or similar for a while whilst you sort out your next steps.
