Neither article is about the Petitioner—they are about students studying flood models—and thus fail the plain language requirement. Additionally, the Petitioner did not establish that a circulation of 11,000–15,000 reflects a major medium.

The Petitioner failed to establish that the association's membership requires outstanding achievements as judged by recognized national or international experts.

The AAO agreed with the Director that EDGE, a reliable source for foreign credential equivalencies, classifies the Philippine five-year physical therapy degree as equivalent to a U.S. undergraduate degree. The credentialing organization's evaluation is based on aggregated coursework rather than the degree itself, so it does not establish whether the Beneficiary's degree alone qualifies as a foreign equivalent of an advanced degree. The Petitioner did not address EDGE's findings on appeal.
AAO found that 60 downloads of an online lesson plan without evidence of who downloaded it or whether it was implemented elsewhere was insufficient to establish national scope.
