When we got to the lines, an immigration officer sent us to the visa-holder/non-resident line. When we were about 30 minutes from getting our turn, another officer way down on the other side of the US citizen line called out to me asking why I was in that line (he saw that I was holding a US Passport).
I explained that I was told by another officer to stand in that line since my fiancee is a K-1 visa holder. He said "What officer? I'm the only one watching the lines." Then he instructed us to go to a free booth at the US Citizens line. We got processed in about 5 minutes.
The POE asked only 2 questions after taking her picture and fingerprints: where my fiancee will be living and when we plan on getting married. Then he said congratulations and sent us on our way.
Once we got to customs, another officer asked what was in the box we had as checked luggage. I said that it contained clothes and shoes. He said "No problem, please proceed to your right. Thanks."
So all in all, we got our luggage and made it through immigration in about 40 minutes. It took longer to get our bags! The people were all very nice to us.
