Hi Riad,
Thank you for your question. Are you asking for PMI to extend PMP's one year eligibility for everyone? If so, what for? Can you please elaborate?
Regards..
Hi Victor,
Not for everyone. But there should be a room for a special cases. However as there will be a major change in the exam by next June then I think they extend eligibility till the said date and I sure that will help a lot of people.

My question is, why do you want to extend it? Have you already paid for the exam?
No I failed in the 1st attempt and now have no enough time to prepare as I am tied up with a very tough construction job so it will be very helpful for me to request extension . Saving Changes...
Dear Santa,
I think if there is compelling reasons that doesn't help the person to do the exam within the eligibility duration then PMI should support. The reason I have, I am working currently on a construction project that requires me to work for 12 hours approximately.
Best Regards,
I understand Riad, many of us work long hours. At the time I was doing my PMP I was working 10 hours a day, and completing a Masters degree. I personally believe 12 months is ample time to pass the PMP, but in the worst case, if that 12 months expires, it is simply a case of applying for the exam again.

Dear Sante,
Thanks for feedback. I think This doesn't always happen, especially when the volatility in the market creates in people a state of instability that drive them to change their work as well as family obligations. As that experience factor might play a big role in the hours that individuals need to pass the exam.
Best Regards,
Riad

My recomendation, just in case you did not do that, go to PMI´s Customer Support with this question.

Hi Riad,
You will find that there will always be something that will come up that will limit your time you have to study for the PMP exam. I was under a lot of pressure at work as well but I studied after work for 4 hours every week day and 8 hours over weekends. So if you can rather bite the bullet and look for opportunities to study rather than seeing the reasons for not being able to.
Thanks for pointing this out, worthwhile guide for the community Saving Changes...

Only 12 hours? That must be a very small construction project. (Sorry I couldn't resist!) Saving Changes...
