As of now, my application is half way there in terms of time.
Should I be collection some civil documents or background check docs from my country of origin or gathering medical records... or anything else? what do they ask for after this process. In my case, I have an employment based application for PR, but for the hardship my mother (PR) is sponsoring it.

I think you'll need a medical examination but you don't need other documentation if it's not applicable. E.g. you only need police/court records if you were ever convicted of a crime abroad.

I guess i-601a waiver is out of the water.

What's your story exactly. You might be able to send them a letter as to why you were dragging your feet (e.g. waiting on I-601A which USCIS should notify DOS of, shit being closed due to COVID, etc). All else fails your sponsor can always file I-824 to throw the case back to Dept of State. Approved petitions generally do not expire.
