Where in the memo does it say "only if they do not maintain lawful status"? there are plenty of people adjusting under employment based petitions who have non-immigrant visas (eg O-1) which are not dual intent.

O-1 is a dual intent visa, as is L-1, as is H-1B, so I have no idea what you're talking about?

No, the O-1 is not officially dual intent: https://www.wegreened.com/o1-visa

Do you know why many sources state that it is not dual intent or that it is "quasi dual intent"?

		"The noncitizen may legitimately come to the United States for a temporary period as an O-1 or O-3 dependent nonimmigrant and depart voluntarily at the end of their authorized stay and, at the same time, lawfully seek to become an LPR of the United States." Seems extremely clear to me.
