Applying for the Travel Extension

Beneficiaries cannot request an extension on their own.” The USCIS will examine the support person’s request for the extension of travel authorization and will provide the request together with the beneficiary’s information to CBP for further study”, according to the Embassy.
Important Things to Note
For privacy purposes, USCIS says that “only the beneficiary can view the travel authorization extension notice in their USCIS online account.”
If the beneficiary’s original travel authorization has expired more than 30 days before or after the extension request or if the beneficiary does not intend to travel to the United States during the single 90-day extension, the support person must submit a new Form 1-134A on the beneficiary’s behalf and obtain a new travel authorization.
