Short answer
No. The I-130 is the family petition that proves the qualifying relationship. Filing it—or even getting it approved—does not by itself give your spouse immigration status or permission to work. Whether your spouse can stay, adjust status, or work depends on separate filings and on the spouse’s immigration history.
