nothing,

now she has to wait until the priority date becomes current, you have to check every month the visa bulletin.

it is taking more than 6 years for an unmarried child of a USC. she is Romanian as well?

Once the priority date becomes current, the NVC will contact you to continue the process.

Her catgory is F1, here is the visa bulletin for June

Yes the F1 is a student visa, your daughter falls in the family immigration Category F1, unmarried child over 21 of a US citizen. There are only a limited number of visas in each family category other than immediate relative and the different categories are denoted as F1, F2A, F2B, etc. with different wait times for each category.

The link Aleful gave you was for the current visa bulletin showing what Priority date (usually found on the receipt from USCIS) they are processing for that month. When her priority date comes close to being current then processing of the petition will resume, until then there is nothing to do.

You need to learn the difference between the F-1 student visa and the F-1 family preference category.

An F-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa for an international student.

The F-1 family preference category is for a US citizen to petition for an unmarried child over the age of 21. A person in the F-1 family preference category must wait for an available visa number before the person can apply for an immigrant visa. A visa number becomes available when the person's Priority Date becomes current in the Visa Bulletin.

TWO VERY DIFFERENT MEANINGS FOR F-1.

I found what kind of visa is FB-1

FB-1 is an immigration visa in INA 203(a)(1). The beneficiary of an approved immigration visa petition is entitled to obtain permanent residence (green card) status of United States. FB-1 is for persons who are unmarried sons and daughters of a US citizen.

It's hard to say how long you'll have to wait. Cutoff dates don't always advance by one month in every new visa bulletin. Sometimes they advance faster, sometimes slower. It depends on how many visa numbers have been used. After the recession began there was a dramatic acceleration in the cutoff dates for most family preference visa categories as a lot of people with current priority dates weren't applying for visas. After the economy appeared to have stabilized, and with the beginning of the new federal fiscal year, the cutoff dates retrogressed, and the waiting times increased again. It's hard to predict what's going to happen in the future.

You don't have much of a choice. There won't be a visa number available for you until your priority date is current. Right now, that looks like another 4 1/2 years.
