More details to this question:
My daughter is an USA citizen and is filing a I130 for me to become permanent resident. I came legally to USA on a B1 visa and can stay legal until June. Can I stay in USA or do I have to leave the country before my legal stay is up while uscis approves the petition?

If your daughter is over 21 then she can sponsor you as an immediate relative. Since you entered as a visitor then u may have a problem adjusting status since your intent was to visit and not to adjust status. Consequently it would be safer for u to process your petition overseas. Thus u should not overstay your visa if u don’t want any problems.
