Well usually they will suspend or revoke your license upon conviction. I do not know why the case is still pending without having a lot more facts.

The best thing to do is to wait, obviously your lawyer is fighting your case and may eventually get it dismissed. Unless the case is dismissed you will either plead guilty/no contest to the charges (or, a lesser charge), or go to trial. If your license was never revoked your lawyer did a good job defending your license at the DMV. These questions are best asked of your lawyer, he/she will likely know the best answers for you and your case.

You can set it for a trial. You should have an attorney to represent you at any hearing or trial.

Of course they didn't revoke your license, not yet! Your case is still ongoing.

Why has it been delayed for that long? Are you represented by an attorney? If not, you should retain an experienced DUI attorney in your area as soon as possible. Is the prosecution delaying the case because of lack of evidence or is the defense delaying it for some strategic reason? A lot more information is needed before a more accurate answer can be given. Usually there are statutory mandates on how long the court has to bring a misdemeanor case to trial. If it has not come to trial in that time period, there would need to be good cause for why it has been delayed for so long.

Most dangerous for you is to demand a Speedy Trial. Sometimes forcing the States position does work.
