alt Hacker NewsI'm not sure I share your optimism. What is a worker on an H-class visa, if not a "temporary worker"?
I read this with the assumption that "nonimmigrant visa" applies to every category of visa listed here under "Nonimmigrant Visa Categories":

It specifically lists H1B as non-immigrant visa on that page, so if you are here working at Google you must leave the country.
If you read the actual policy (it’s on the ISCIS website), it specifically says dual-intent visa are appropriate for AOS in the US.
This is a pretty broad swath of immigrants - H visa (worker and family), L1 (corporate transfer and family) and K1/3 (spouses of US citizen or green card holder).
What this limits are the truly temporary visitors - tourists, students, etc
A “non-immigrant” is everything under 8 USC 1101(a)(15): https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:8%20section:1...
Includes H and J. The letters used to refer to those visas comes from the subsections under 1101(a)(15)
