Unless I am misunderstanding what Alexei wrote, I believe the middle part of
the statement is incorrect.
Alexei writes: "...you may continue without re-taking it for another 18
month."
You have 18 months for your first attempt. If you do not pass on that first
attempt, your written then stays for valid for an additional 12 months - not
18 months as Alexei wrote.
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/exam/index.html
Expiration 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.

Hey.
If you did an attempt within those 18 month, you may continue without
re-taking it for another 18 month. After that you have to re-take the
written one.
