                          "mongodb://User:123@Wyyuyu:13333/ty2_U",verbose = TRUE)

## getting all data from collection data from collection below query is working fine.

values <- mongo$find()

## But I want to filter specific value by passing value.

{    

   values <- mongo$find('{"field" : i}',)
}

Given your i is a variable, you need to create the string using something like paste0:

values <- mongo$find(paste0('{"field" : ', i, '}') )

but rather than a loop you could also use

values <- mongo$find('{"field" : { "$in" : [ "process", "check", "queue" ] } }')
