What's the impact of filing family based I-130 application on work visa (H1B, or L1) in future

Would filing the family based I-130 application by biological parent (GC holder) for their 23 yr old unmarried daughter (born in India with EU citizenship) risk her ability to get any other non-immigrant work visa (H1B, or L1) in the near future (1yr to 3 yrs)?
She is working as an algorithm researcher in EU.
 
See https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM040210.html for H visas
See section 9 FAM 402.10-10(A) (U) INA 214(b) and H Visas. Extract:

In addition, INA 214(h) provides that H-1B nonimmigrant may have "dual intent," i.e., the fact that an H-1B nonimmigrant has sought permanent residence in the United States or will be seeking such status in the future does not preclude him or her from obtaining or maintaining H-1B nonimmigrant status.


And the same wording for L visas, see section 9 FAM 402.12-13 in https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM040212.html
In addition, INA 214(h) provides the fact that an applicant has sought or will seek permanent residence in the United States does not preclude him or her from obtaining or maintaining L nonimmigrant status.
