Can I file for work authorization for daughter after filing i130?

Employment authorization in cases like your daughter’s is an ancillary benefit to the filing of an I-485 application for adjustment of status. An I-485 cannot be filed until there is open visa availability. As a green card parent filing for a child over the age of 21 and unmarried, your daughter is under the F-2B category, and for most countries of the world, the visa availability date in January 2021 (under the dates for filing chart of the Department of State) is open for all cases filed prior to May 1, 2016. Even if the date is reached in the future, your daughter would generally not be able to file an I-485 application unless she has maintained legal nonimmigrant status until she obtains visa availability.
