This form of immigration is generally available to those seeking to reunite their families, to get married, to immigrate as a bride or a suitor (an immigrant visa for a bride (an immigrant visa for a spouse of a US Citizen, IR1 or CR1) or a spouse of a US citizen who is awaiting for an approval of the request for immigration.
