Legal Question in DUI Law in Illinois

NY DUI with a IL Driver's License

Here's the situation. I received an DWAI in NY in 2002 and IL got wind and revoked my license for 1 year. This revokation was up in Feb of 2004. In April of 2003 I received a DUI in NY and this was classified as a 1st offense. I did not know about IL's revokation at that time. Now here's the problem, I have just now found out from the Administration of Hearings, IL has now revoked my license for 5 years as of March of 2004. Since my license was revoked for the DWAI, doesn't this mean that officially that IL should not have been able to add on the 5 years? I was a resident of NY at the time of both incidents, the only difference is that the 1st time I had an IL license, the 2nd I was basically an unlicensed individual in the state of NY and could have been charged as such in NY if they wanted. I currently live in NJ now and I am a resident of NJ, I have not resided in IL since March 2002. What can I do to restore my license? My penalties and fines have been paid in NY. NY suspended my priveledges for 6 months for the DUI in 2003. I need some advice on how to deal with the issue of the 2 states, mainly IL though. Thanks in advance for any advice given.
