You were made aware of the consequences of leaving the program like all J1 Visa holders.

Accordingly, if you drop out of the program then you only have 10 day to remain in the country. After that you will be considered illegal.

Be very aware of the fact that once you drop out of the program, the organization MUST inform the US immigration.
