Immigration Line at Airport

[orzxela 0]

Hello,

I am a USC and I will be traveling to Hawaii (Oahu) with my wife soon from overseas. Upon arrival would it be possible for us to use the US Citizen line together to get through immigration? Or would we have to use the Esta/visitor line? 
 

Thank you

Is she immigrating or visiting  If immigrating, you can go together through a manned visitor line. If visiting,  use separate lines if she has an ESTA.. the ESTA booth is way faster than waiting in line

You can use either, whichever one is shorter, as you are traveling together.

She cannot go through the USC/LPR line; if you want to go through together, you must use the visitors line.

Completely wrong advice.

 

They most certainly can use the USC line as they are traveling together as a family.

We go through the USC line even though I don’t have a citizenship or green card when travelling as a family to USA.

My wife (USC) and I (LPR) always go through USC line. If fact, in the beginning I did not since I am not a USC and the CBP told her that next time she should bring me with her. Ever since we go through USC line together.

It depends on the airport and how busy the CBP lines are at the time.  If there are ushers, ask them where to line up together with your wife.  They will likely guide you to the line that is less busy.  That could be either of the USC or visitor lines.
