SUMMARY ORDER

Petitionei’s Dongmei Tong and Zhaoyue Sun, natives and citizens of the People’s Republic of China, seek review of a June 7, 2016, decision of the BIA affirming a March 13,2015, decision of an Immigration Judge (“U”) denying Tong’s application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).1*Dongmei Tong, Zhaoyue Sun,*No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ]/662, (B.I.A. June 7, 2016), *aff'g*No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ]/662 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City Mar. 13, 2015). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of this case.

Under the circumstances of this case, we have reviewed the IJ’s decision as supplemented by the BIA. *See Wala v. Mukasey,*511 F.3d 102, 105 (2d Cir. 2007). The standards of review are well established. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); *Xiu Xia Lin v. Mukasey,*534 F.3d 162, 165-66 (2d Cir. 2008).

The agency may, “Considering the totality of the circumstances,” base an adverse credibility determination on inconsistencies or omissions in an applicant’s testimony, application, and other record evidence, regardless of whether any such discrepancies “go[ ] to the heart of the applicant’s claim.” 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii); *Xiu Xia Lin,*534 F.3d at 163-64, 166-67 *&*n.2. “An applicant’s failure to corroborate ... her testimony may bear on credibility, because the absence of corroboration in general makes an applicant unable to rehabilitate testimony that has already been called into question.” *Biao Yang v. Gonzales,*496 F.3d 268, 273 (2d Cir. 2007). “We defer ... to an IJ’s credibility determination unless ... it is plain that no reasonable fact-finder could make such an adverse credibility ruling.” *Xiu Xia Lin,*534 F.3d at 167.

*488Significant inconsistencies regarding the timeline of Tong’s prior marriage and her ex-husband’s abuse provide substantial evidence for the adverse credibility determination. *See Xian Tuan Ye v. Dep’t of Homeland Sec.,*446 F.3d 289, 295-96 (2d Cir. 2006) (holding that a single material inconsistency relating to central aspect of an asylum claim provided substantial evidence for an adverse credibility determination). For example, Tong’s testimony that she first, moved out in 2007 conflicted with a divorce certificate showing she and her ex-husband divorced.in 2003. And Tong’s testimony that she did not see her ex-husband between 2004 and December 2007 conflicted with a letter from Tong’s former classmate stating that he saw Tong after an incident of abuse in July 2007.

Tong testified that she was confused and unable to recall the exact dates of events. While it is plausible that severe injuries and trauma from this abuse would affect Tong’s ability to recall accurately the time-line of events, the agency reasonably rejected this explanation because Tong did not provide a medical or psychological evaluation to support it. *Majidi v. Gonzales,*430 F.3d 77, 80-81 (2d Cir. 2005) (“A petitioner must do more than offer a plausible explanation for his inconsistent statements to secure relief; he must demonstrate that a reasonable fact-finder would be *compelled*to credit his testimony,” (internal quotation marks omitted)).

Although an asylum application need not include all the details of a claim, *see Pavlova v. INS,*441 F.3d 82, 90 (2d Cir. 2006), Tong’s omission of details bolsters the adverse credibility determination, particularly as she omitted a serious incident in which her husband threatened her with a gun, *see Xiu Xia Lin,*534 F.3d at 166-67 & n.3 (“An inconsistency and an omission are ... functionally equivalent” for credibility purposes).

The agency also reasonably concluded that Tong’s corroborating evidence did not rehabilitate her credibility. She did not submit evidence to corroborate that her husband was a police officer, arrest records related to the 2010 incident, or medical records for her son to corroborate Tong’s testimony that he also suffered abuse. *See Biao Yang,*496 F.3d at 273. Tong’s challenge to the agency’s decision to give her medical records little weight is both unexhausted, *Foster v. INS,*376 F.3d 75, 78 (2d Cir. 2004) (requiring petitioner to raise issues to the BIA in order to preserve them for judicial review), and without merit. We generally “defer to the agency’s determination of the weight afforded to an alien’s documentary evidence.” *Y.C. v. Holder,*741 F.3d 324, 334 (2d Cir. 2013). Here, the medical records related only to incidents from 2000 and were not authenticated or certified by the hospital.

Given Tong’s inconsistent testimony regarding the timeline during which her abuse occurred, her omission of details concerning her abuse, and given her lack of reliable corroboration, the totality of the circumstances supports the adverse credibility determination. *See Xiu Xia Lin,*534 F.3d at 167; *Biao Yang,*496 F.3d at 273; *Xian Tuan Ye,*446 F.3d at 295-96. Because Tong’s claims were all based on the same factual predicate, the adverse credibility determination is dispositive of her claims for asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT relief. *Paul v. Gonzales,*444 F.3d 148, 156-57 (2d Cir. 2006).

For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED.

. Sun sought asylum only as Tong's derivative beneficiary, and did not seek withholding of removal or CAT relief in his own right.
