Veeraraman, there is a positive chance for you to get British citizenship. But please don't expect forum members to answer every question popping in your head. Go through guides to understand the possibilities. I strongly recomend you to get some professional help. wish you all the best & don't forget to post here any outcomes.

No, as with all such matters it's just a waiting game.

I have been mailing liverpool passport office regularly since I submitted my passport application. I was getting prompt reply from them. But for the past 10/15 days I mailed thrice and to my surprise i received no reply from them.
What could be the reason??

Email is not a guaranteed communication channel with guaranteed delivery.

The office in question could be facing one or more of:
technical issues;
staff shortages;
work overload;

Or there could have been:
a change of staff;
&/or change of email policy;

You yourself may also be facing one or more technical (or other) challenges such as;
mailbox overload;
email address blocked;
over-enthusiastic spam mail filter;
email address change;
email client change;
computer connection issues

Received a message on my phone that I am expected to get something through DHL courier within few days. When I tracked I found a parcel booked from LONDON. Please let me know what could be the content of that parcel ???

The last time we had a similar question, it transpired that a family member had ordered something on the internet. :|

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Indeed, remember it well.

I decided that was lower down on the order of probabilities this time based on likelihood of eBay/Amazon penetration into OP's country and also his recent submission of documents at HO request.
