Not true. To my knowledge no visa is dual intent in theory but it never end up mattering in practice.

H1-B and L-1 are dual intent and it matters to travel with a pending Adjustment of Status.
Thanks for the correction. But again it rarely matters in practice.
In practice it means that if you file for a green card while on O-1 status there will be 4-8 months during which you absolutely can't travel.
Ah, maybe I'm missing some subtleties. I was referring to "you're not supposed to have intent to immigrate on a X visa", which never seemed to matter as I personally applied for H1-B and a greencard while on a J1
H-1B is dual intent.
