Law / Length of time to receive confirmation of Polish Citizenship [26]

I think that your case is simple and you will not have to wait as long as 2 years - it is a question of 6 months more or less I suppose. Once you get certificate about Polish citizenship you will be able to apply for temporary Polish passport from the consulate. It is valid for one year. In case of any problems I suggest to check the website polish-citizenship.

Work / Polish Citizenship...for travel and studies and MEDICAL work. [4]

If your mother didn't renounce Polish citizenship she still have it. It means that most probably you have Polish citizenship also. You can apply for the certificate about Polish citizenship. Once you have it you can apply for a Polish passport. I think that getting Polish passport is a good idea bearing in mind that you intend to study and live in Poland. Having your Polish passport you don't need to bother with Visa issues in Poland. Check this sites: polish-citizenship or your poland to learn more about it.
