I was convicted of a 1st offense DUI in Georgia on 5/24/2010 and received a restricted license. I took my GA DUI class, paid my reinstatement fee, waited my 4 months and got my drivers license reinstated in GA on 10/12/2010. I moved to VA, went to DMV and got my license in VA on 10/20/2010. Six days later, I received a letter from VA DMV stating my VA license was being suspended from 5/24/2010 until 5/23/2011 and that I needed to complete the VASAP program in VA because of the GA conviction. Why do I have to meet VA requirements when I've already met the GA requirements? And how can I receive at least a restricted VA license when there is no VA conviction? What is my best course of action, if any, of getting my VA license reinstated? I don't understand how the VA DMV can recognize the conviction in GA but not recognize the completion of the requirements GA gave me.

Rather than waiting on the DMV for further explanation, you're probably
better advised to go the clerk's office of the general district (traffic) court
in the area where you now reside and ask to schedule a hearing to have your Virginia license reinstated with whatever conditions that the judge imposes.
