I'm quite confused about the "quasi dual-intent nature of the O-1", and this subreddit seems split when I search around.
Specifically it's not clear to me if I ever decide to get married to my USC partner, if that would complicate my O-1A status — even when not pursuing a green card. Whether it could be misconstrued as immigration intent, and whether it also brings travel risks.
Some answers have been firmly in the "O-1 isn't as free as the H-1B" camp, whereas other ones argue it's dual intent and you're free to get married.
The correct move is to of course discuss this with a lawyer, but how do you see/navigate this?
