Hello. I am planning to apply for british citizenship as i have been in UK for more than 7 years on ILE visa. Only problem is, I was convicted for DUI last year. My ILE visa will expire on 2020, hence, how likely will my application be approved. If the chances of getting approval is really low then how long will I have to wait to apply again. And what other options are there for me as my VISA is expiring soon. Please do help if anyone knows about it. Thank you.

If you have got Indefinite Leave to Enter (ILE), it does not expire.
The 'validity date' in your passport should be the same as the expiry date of your passport, however you can have your ILE re-confirmed in your new passport (if you are outside the UK) or get a BRP (if you are in the UK) as your
Indefinite leave does not expire.
