Yes it is considered two DUI's as there is reciprocation agreements between both states. However, one DUI can only count as a prior if you were convicted of it before the new one occurs. If you have two DUI arrests and have not been convicted on either as you are waiting trial on both, they both count as 2 first time DUI's.

The states reciprocate and share data, therefore you most probably have two convictions, but see an attorney to be sure.
