Is it possible to get B1/B2 stay extension approval for parents stating 'staying with their first newborn grandchild' as a lifetime event? Does this qualify as a valid reason to file for an extension?
 
You don't have to make it sound like a big life event. You just have to convince USCIS of two things: (1) you intend to engage in activities that are legal for a visitor, and (2) you intend to leave the US by the end of the extension period.

For example, "My grandchild was just born and I would like to stay in the US for another 6 months to spend time with them. After that, I will return to <my home country>."
