Do foreign citations count?

My papers have been cited 100+ times but most of them are cited by non-U.S. scholars. I have consulted many attorneys. Some of them told me this should not affect my case, while others said that it would weaken my case. Can someone please share your experience? I only have 5 English citations.

to Terrence:

Non-English citations are counted but in your case, it seems like majority of the citations are non-English, and this could weaken your case to some extent. You might want to wait until you have some more English citations before filing.

to Terrence:

My attorney told me that some immigration officers recognize non-English citations, while some do not. I agree with tom.vargas177 that you should probably accumulate more English citations, if you wish to avoid being challenged by the immigration officer.
