It's explicitly a dual intent visa.

Contrast it to the TN status available to Canadians/Mexicans, which is not dual intent. Having the intent to immigrate when taking a TN position is reason to reject the application.

Oh absolutely.

The dual-intent mistake in my post was noted also by another user and I replied to it acknowledging that was the case.

The are also other non-immigrant visa programs: professors, religious workers, agricultural workers, in addition to the specific temporary worker visas related to free trade agreements.
