The problem, from my perspective, is not the rule change -- it's that almost everyone who applied in good faith under "old rules" was defaulted to JSV after the rule change. There is a very small number of exceptions, including mine, where RV was granted, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of a couple of LIAs. This should not have happened -- by law, "old rules" applications should not have been affected. I received a number of PMs from people in this situation -- it seems that quite a few forum members were burned by this.
