So I asked the immigration people there. I was told that she cannot go through the line with me (citizen), but I can go through the line with her (visitor).

Interesting. Got back from a trip abroad last week. At the POE, I saw an obvious immigrant (with a large brown envelope) with a USC in the CITIZEN/LP line. This was for SFO. When they reached the counter with the boarder agent, the agent actually came out of his little stall to examine the contents of the envelope.

This was for an elderly lady (the mother of the USC most likely) and they probably made an exception.
