You probably do not need an affidavit of support since your intended period of extended stay is only 6 months. However, if you can get a US citizen/LPR to execute a Form I-134 for you. it may further convince CIS. Regarding the fees for your B-2 extension,you should go to the uscis web site

You can provide I-134 but it is usually not required.

You don't need an affidavit of support but you do need to show how you will pay for your experiences while in the US.

If you can show that you have enough money to pay for all your needs during the extended stay in the U.S., then you do not need an I-134 affidavit of support. The fee is $290; make sure to make your check (or money order) payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, without abbreviations.

You do not need a new affidavit of support to request an extension of your authorized stay in the US as a B-2 visitor. If an affidavit of support of submitted with your original application for entry, it is still valid for the duration of your visit.

No, but you do need to prove that you have enough money to support yourself while you are here.
