From your description, it does sound like you would have a valid VAWA claim. However in order to determine this, the attorney you work with will need to sit down with you to go over your entire case in full detail. If you do not have enough money for this, there are a lot of pro bono clinics and women's shelters that prepare and file VAWA claims. I encourage you to talk with some of them- you can google them just like you did for this site- to determine which agency will be the most legitimate and be able to assist you with your case.
