90 day passport?? I thought most passports are good for 5 or 10 years.

If you mean 90 days Visa Waiver Program, this period cannot be extended while in the USA.

Q: What Are the Disadvantages of Using the VWP?

A: If you are admitted to the United States under the VWP, you may not change or extend your non-immigrant status. If your admission is denied you have no right to administrative or judicial review, except as noted above. Likewise, if you are found to have previously violated the terms of your admission, you may not enter under the VWP ever again. Therefore, before using the VWP, you should carefully consider your options.

Just because someone lists England as their native country doesn't mean that English is his primary language. Here it certainly isn't the case so we should be trying to understand what the O.P. was trying to convey.

Participants of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) cannot file for an extension. The duration is always limited to 90 days maximum, possibly less depending upon the Immigration Officer (I.O.) at the point of entry (P.O.E.)

Furthermore, it is not possible to apply for a visitor's visa (B2) from within the United States. Such an application has to be filed from one's "home" country, and it will need to be accompanied by documentation showing the applicant's ties to said home country.
