You seem to know why you wish to extend your stay?

You have had 6 months to visit the US.

Who goes on a year long vacation?

If your extension is denied, you will lose your tourist visa.

There is nothing to explain, just mention for how long and why you want to extend your stay. Provide the new return flight booking, how you will afford the extended stay and such. Note that the b2 extension are taking way longer than 6 months to process. You will likely have already returned by the time your extension is processed. It could be approved or denied.

So you caused the pandemic?!?  Arrrggg!

 

 

...

 

Sorry, I am just poking your phrase for a bit of fun.  I understand what you meant.

 

The few B2 extension posts I have read recently were denied.  But the reasons they gave was just a generic "I couldn't return to my country due to the pandemic".

 

If you have any detailed plans on what you want to do in the US for the next few months, and have the tourist dollars to spend, that may be approved?  I am not sure what criteria USCIS uses.  Just be sure to leave the US immediately if your extension request gets denied.  Also leave if your case is still processing when the extra 6 months is up.

 

Another option for you, if the reason for staying abroad is a desire not to return home, is to visit another country?  Canada or Mexico?  Or South America?

I go on a year long vocation.. Because i need it. 

I need stay far away from my country.. All my reasons about my private life.

 

B2 is not for this..

Basically, you only want to extend your tourist visa so that you don't go back to Turkey? Seems you want to live in US

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
