Do you think my application timeline is normal for someone that has applied from abroad?
I'm getting more anxious as the days go by without a decision from HO.
I'm worried of getting rejected even though i know that my son is eligible for british citizenship and sent all the necessary documents due to the long waiting time compared to other applicants.

You've been told repeatedly that applications from abroad take longer than average to be processed. I linked above steps you can take to follow up on your application. I would suggest putting in a complaint and contacting your MP at this stage. I appreciate it is a stressful wait but it is best to focus on what we can control. You submitted all relevant evidence so you have done everything you can from the paperwork perspective.

Recived letter today from Home office addressing Mp stating that they haven't received the additional information.
I emailed Mp today and told them to forward the additional information to Home Office.
Also emailed further nationality with mp's letter and additional information as requested from home office.

Once you receive a response request a formal review and update your MP as well.

You can't request a complaint review before receiving a response, so this won't lead to anything.

You can't ask for a review until you receive a response to your initial complaint. Without a response the review won't be triggered, that's not how their process works.

Received letter from the home office asking for evidence of 3 years of residence before my baby was born.
Can i send the home office my secondary school certificates if i don't have my secondary school report?
Will this be sufficient?

Can you contact the school and ask a letter that confirms you attended and the timeframe? Usually that is accepted. If your passport gets stamped, do you still have your passport at the time? Other possibility is to try a SAR but that depends on how long ago you lived in the UK.

That should be OK. Hopefully UKVI will review your case soon now.

Bank statements aren't normally accepted as evidence of residence.

I
think a three year period needs to be continuous, subject to limited absences.

This is what i got from Citizens advice
If you were born outside the UK, you are ‘British by descent’. This means you can’t automatically pass on British nationality to your children if they are born outside the UK.
If you’re British by descent, you can apply to register your child as British if either:
you lived in the UK for 3 years at any time before your child was born

That would be the usual advice they would give, and it seems in line with what you declared in the application. You sent what you have, so now you need to wait for them to review your further evidence.

So they added the information you submitted to your file and they will consider it. Need to give them more time to process it.
