Can you tell me how to extend a travel passport to get extra time in the US?

There are several ways to apply for an extension of your U.S. travel passport beyond the expiration date. You can obtain a renewal form from the U.S. Department of State’s website or from a passport acceptance facility such as a post office, regional federal court or certain diplomatic posts. The application should include proof of your identity, U.S. citizenship, a recent passport photo and the applicable fees. In some cases, your application can be processed in less than a week and you can receive an extension of up to 1 year from the expiration date of your passport. If you require additional time, there is an optional form called the Application for Travel Document which allows you to extend your stay for an additional 2 years. Additionally, if you have immediate family abroad who could host you until you apply for the extension form, it may be possible to travel with a limited validity passport. Ultimately, the best way to ensure that you obtain the desired extension is to apply prior to the expiration date on your current passport.
