Or is there an RFE issued to any applicant in regards to this. 3. On what basis would an uscis or dos officer would determine the no. of MINIMUM citations required to process an eb1 ph.d.

There is no minimum or maximum citation rule here. Your recommendation letters, awards, patents, influence of work along with citations make a case. Number of citations is just one of the factors. Plus sometimes you have to mention that a citing papers used your work/methodology instead of just putting you in the comparison table.
