Dec 23, 2013 at 21:53 comment added Bitwise Some comments: (1) Every J1 is technically a "research scholar" - I think what people are trying to ask is what is what do you actually do and what is your job title, not the title of your visa. (2) Note that the J1 visa only establishes when you are allowed to enter the US. The length of your research program and the cause for leaving is not the J1 visa but the DS-2019 form. (3) You might be able to maintain your status if you join a different research team (but I do not know the details of how that works).
Dec 23, 2013 at 18:19 comment added D.W. MooMoo, I noticed something about how you're talking about this. You're a visiting research scholar: but you talk about yourself by describing yourself as a programmer. You say you finished your work early, as though you're expecting that someone is going to tell you what to do and your job is to finish the assignment they gave you. But in a research scholar position, your job is to come up with your own ideas of how to make a contribution, and execute on them. It's not a situation where someone tells you what to do and you do it. Maybe you need to change the way you think about research?

Dec 23, 2013 at 16:39 comment added MooMoo My problem is I completed the work earlier than they expected. Nowadays I don't have anything to do since my professor has no more project in his hand and the project is now on the marketing phase, they don't need a programmer anymore.

Dec 23, 2013 at 9:38 comment added D.W. You should edit the question to describe the nature and title of your current position. There is a major difference between, e.g., "Ph.D. student", "postdoc", "staff programmer", or "research scientist", etc. Knowing the exact title might help a lot. You should also describe the nature of your contract (was it for a fixed term, or was at-will employment?) and any expectations that were described to you when you were hired about the duration of the position. It seems you expected this to be a 2-year position. How long have you been there so far?
