You can get an O1 easily with your tenure track and publications. I know a bunch of people who have obtained an O1 with none of that.

There are more interesting stuff about US visas IMO. With a number of them, and if you come from countries like Poland, after a year in the US you have to stay away for 2 years before coming back to the US. With a number of visa your spouse also can’t work and is reduced to a stay-at home. Internships that want to be converted to FTE needs to try the H1B lottery also.

LOL O1 visa is still not easy. Even after 6 years of PhD.

This is not true in general, assuming you're a student (since that's the usual situation for an internship). You can rely on CPT during school (with some bureaucracy), or OPT if you run out of CPT time.

that's if you got a master degree in the US. I was a student who came to the US to do an internship (on a J1) and had to get a H1B after my internship.
