Since your daughter is a US citizen, she can sponsor a green card directly for you. This is possible as you are in the immediate relative category. You will not have to wait for a long time( for the visa number to be available) due to this preference category.
Your daughter should be above 21 years of age to sponsor for your green card under immediate relative category.While the petition is being processed you should be able to maintain legal status in US else you have the option to back home and continue green card processing through consular processing until the visa becomes available to enter US. Else while in US when the visa becomes available you would have to adjust status to a permanent resident status filing Form I-485 along with Form I-130.
