California should honor the Virginia laws. I don't know when you plan to return to VA. If it is soon why don't you just take the classes there. In CA, if you will be here for a substantial time,,? you would have to apply at the DMV and you will probably have to go through an administrative hearing to get your license.

You don't get a license in any state until VA clears and orders one reissued one to you. Do whatever is required there.

There is no hold on receiving your license in California if your license is no longer suspended in the other state.
