If money is no issue, GIAC Certifications hold weight, you still have to go to a testing center, but the SANS course for the certification can be taken on-demand, 100% online.

You can take the Wireshark Certification exam, WCNA, online at your own house. Might not hold a ton of weight... but is good knowledge to have.

I believe you can take the Microsoft MTA exams online at your own house as well, but you need to setup a camera and download software that monitors your computer while you do the exam I believe.

ACE both Palo Alto and AccessData along with other free ones from AD (AME, etc).

SIP School is useful; Rackspace Cloud; Veeam

VMware's VCA may hold some weight. The test is online & done from your home.

I weighed my certs and all are equally light.

Able to share your work experience, educational background and interest? For example, if you are interested in pen testing and have been hacking since your first computer, OSCP is a good choice.
