I wonder if this is partially to stop "marriages of convenience" to acquire American citizenship?

Generally speaking, this would probably help the interests of those concerned with homeland security.
It's quite possible.
I've heard several different ideas as to why it's happened.
I'm not sure we'll actually ever really know. I don't think the government is interested in giving anything other than a perfunctory answer at best.
