Did you ever have a DMV APS hearing on the underlying DUI? If not, or if you did and lost, then the DMV suspended your license even though the court case was dismissed.

The DMV proceedings are comletely seperate from the court case and must have been handled seperately. I suspect you did not do this and that is the issue. Unfortunately, this means you must clear the DUI at DMV
