Actually, the eligibility for CA is good for 2 years (before registering to pearson-vue) but once you register to pearson-vue you have 1 year to schedule your appointment before pearson-vue's registration expires. Hope this helps.
I'm guessing that those friends of yours did not actually apply for CA but got their information from somebody else because it was clearly indicated in the eligibility letter (2 years to register to pearson-vue) and in the handbook of pearson-vue (1 year expiration upon registration).
