Hello, I want to clarify about the exam. It does expire in 8 years. With regards to the result, the BON will not destroy your result. i am already here in Ca and that was my problem when I arrived. They required me to do everything from the scratch and pay a fee for the exam and an explanation letter of my delayed processing. The licensing program will rebuild your documents before they will give you your license number. When I contacted them and told them that I passed my exam they checked their records.
