You can apply without having to go home (and no need for a waiver either). You may need to find a financial sponsor, however.

How much time is needed after sending additional evidence to the USCIS for the final decision?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
The USCIS is inconsistent in the amount of time it takes to complete adjudication of an application when an applicant has failed to supply all of the necessary documents at the initial stage; the USCIS has issued a request for additional evidence; and the applicant has supplied the additional evidence. Among others, the factors that dictate the amount of time may include such things as: the visa category for the application; the type(s) of documentation requested; the thoroughness of the response to the request for additional evidence; the USCIS Service Center where your application was filed; etc.

My mother is a US citizen by birth, can I become a US citizen?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
The short answer to your question is: yes. Generally, the biological child of a mother who was a U.S. citizen by birth is him/herself a U.S. Citizen, and instead of needing to go through a process ("naturalization") to become a U.S. Citizen, he/she may apply for a certificate of citizenship to prove he/she is a citizen. Sometimes there can be complications about the necessary documentary proof for the application process - this is something that an immigration attorney could help you with.
