EDGE rates the three-year Indian B.S. as equivalent to three years of U.S. undergraduate study and the Indian M.S. as equivalent only to a U.S. bachelor's degree.

EDGE rates the three-year Indian B.S. as equivalent to three years of U.S. undergraduate study and the Indian M.S. as equivalent only to a U.S. bachelor's degree. The California license does not establish equivalency because the licensing board itself stated it did not find the Indian credentials equivalent to a U.S. master's degree. Additional U.S. coursework brought the beneficiary to the 30-unit threshold needed for the RPE license but did not result in a U.S. master's degree.

The AAO found that the witness letters lacked corroboration and contained inconsistencies (e.g., conflicting attributions of the same study to 'a team of French experts' vs. 'a joint team of researchers from Spain and France') and strikingly similar language suggesting a common source. The citation record showed only nine independent citations over eight years, and the petitioner failed to establish that this constituted a high citation rate or that his work had significant influence on the field. Peer review and grant review invitations were not shown to be based on the petitioner's recognized expertise.
