I have three points on my license for using mobile whilst driving (CU80).

I was issued fixed penalty by the officer. I did not go to the court.

Will this affect my ILR application.

As in most cases ILR is applied at the end of qualify period (28 days before the end of visa validity date), so what happens in such cases where ILR is refused because of an absence and visa is about to expire in 28 days?
