H-1B is a dual intent program. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_intent :

    Dual intent is a United States immigration law concept. It generally 
    refers to the fact that certain U.S. visas allow foreigners to be 
    temporarily present in the U.S. with lawful status and immigrant 
    intent. This allows those visa holders, particularly H-1B 
    professionals, to enter the U.S. while simultaneously seeking 
    lawful permanent resident status (green card status) at a port 
    of entry. Otherwise, visa holders may be presumed to have 
    immigrant intent and can be kept from entry (summarily excluded) 
    as a matter of law.

That's a slightly different interpretation of the intent to which I was referring. I was speaking to the genesis of the program.

But, in this context, let's just say that immigration is not the primary intent, and the secondary intent is conditioned upon the primary.

More specifically, the "lawful status" that prefaces immigration is conditioned upon sponsorship.
