Re: CCIE written validity

Ray, I would say yes you are good for now, but the best thing to do is to call Cisco and verify. Also, I wouldn't worry about the written just yet if it has expired, don't rush to take the lab just because your written is going to expire. If you are not not ready to take the lab exam then keep studying and take the written just before you are ready to schedule your lab.. The lab in most US locations can be scheduled and taken within as few as 7 days ahead of time. good luck.
