You will go through separate lines. The fact that you have a US citizen wife could be a red flag for border officers. Be prepared to prove that you have a life to return to in the UK (job, house, money, family, etc.), lest they become afraid that you plan on remaining in the US and applying for a green card.

My wife and I both live in the UK and are travelling to the US for a vacation later this year, arriving at LAX. Ky wife is a US citizen and I am a UK citizen. Please would you advise whether we are required to proceed together through the ‘US Citizens’ line at airport immigration, or whether we need to split up and separately pass through the ‘US Citizens’ and ‘Overseas Citizens’ channels. Thank you in adavnce for your help.

Having passed through LAX on numerous times from Australia over the years. I arrived on Qantas flight QF16 on November 1 presenting my passport. The office was of Afro American and from memory his name was Officer Connon.
May I add here that in my type of work, a retired aircraft mechanic traveling to and from positions I have never in all my days been treated with so much dignity and kindness by this gentleman, when entering another country it always seems your just a number, not so with Officer Connon who went those few yards further to welcome me to the US.

Please pass on my thanks to him.
