If you haven't passed the lab, it extends it for 18 months. If you have passed the lab, it extends it 2 years, but your expiration date will always be your lab passing date.
I passed the R&S lab May1, 2012. I passed the Security written last week at LIVE. My renewal date was May 1, 2014, but now that I passed the written (within 6 months?), my renewal date is now May 1, 2016. My question is what time period after passing the lab and taking a written, does it extend your date?
