Needing to procure multiple visas at about the same time is indeed often considered valid grounds for a secondary US passport.

They used to have mainly 2 years of validity, but now it’s routinely 4 years of validity for them.

The secondary passports can also be acquired via ACS at US embassies/consulates.
