RE: CCIE written validity

Hi Phani

I had the exact same query for which I logged a case. The bottom line is the
following:

Candidates must make an initial attempt of the CCIE lab exam within 18 months
of passing the CCIE written exam. Candidates who do not pass must re-attempt
the lab exam within 12 months of their last attempt in order for their written
exam to remain valid. If a candidate does not pass the lab exam within three
years, the written exam expires and must be passed again before the candidates
will be allowed to schedule the lab.

This unfortunately means that your CCIE Written is no longer valid and it
means that you need to retake the Written exam before you can attempt the LAB
again.

Regards

Steven
