| Saying "...............untill the work's finished means that the action "stay" is temporary so we use the present progressive tense. |

| I think it expressing a complaint : " i am staying with my sister until the work's finished " you will finish your work( or your sis will finish her work ) and now you have to stay with my sister ...making complaint ( may be) it corect : " I am always staying wiht my sister until the work's finished |

| i voted for am staying.. i think if u wanna use stay it's better this way (is wat i think) " i'll stay with my sister until the work's finished " ok, "until" indicates that the work ain't finish yet so the use of will is truly appropriate.. " i stayed with my sister till the work's finished " i changed until to till and stay to stayed to show it's a past event... |
