As the similar questions you referred to mentioned, all states Department of Motor Vehicles are connected with the National Driver Register (NDR) which means that Wisconsin will check this national database and find your California suspension listed there once you apply for a driver's license.

All states input information and can receive information from the National Drivers Register (NDR). This database keeps record of problem drivers, meaning mostly those with serious traffic convictions, including DUIs, and those whose driver's license is suspended, revoked, canceled, or denied.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) specifically states that if your driver license is revoked or suspended in another state but you have not been convicted of anything that requires mandatory suspension or revocation in Wisconsin you must contact the state(s) in which you have had your driver license suspended or revoked, and reinstate your driver license in that state(s). You may then apply for a Wisconsin driver license.

WisDOT goes on to say that occasionally, persons who move to Wisconsin and receive a Wisconsin driver license subsequently have their license suspended or revoked because of a conviction in another state for a serious offense such as OWI.

This may occur because at the time you completed the application for your Wisconsin driver license, you did not tell WisDOT about the conviction. WisDOT can only act upon what it knows and what it is told at the time you applied for your Wisconsin driver license.

So if you apply for a driver's license in Milwaukee, WI without your California license being reinstated then it does not appear WI would grant you a license. If you did not inform WisDOT of the suspended CA license and did receive a WI driver's license, this license could be revoked if they check the NDR or Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS) and find out that you are suspended back in CA.
