You may remain in the U.S. for as long as you are authorized. Yourcsuthorized stay is indicated in your Form I-94. You cannot work while in a tourist visa. You would need to change your status to one that allows for employment authorization. It is not clear from the information provided if this is a viable option for you. I encourage you to consult an attorney.
