indicates the influence of ur work, so there r supposed to be fair amount of papers citing ur publications.
If the # is already quite big, u don't need to bother this question too much, as 151 citations will not make much difference from 145.
If unfortunately it not very big or even quite a limited #, go find a good lawyer. Some experienced lawyers know much how to deal with this issue. u know, recently USCIS has been serious about citation.
The bottom line is, if the # is not big, and the applicant plays smart too much with "how many times"-"how many papers", and the immigration officer senses it, as a matter of fact, the applicant just highlights his/her weakness.
