US Border With British Wife

score:13

Accepted answer

Yes, you should approach together. You can use the US citizens' line or the non-US line. You're supposed to file a joint customs declaration if you live at the same address, and even if you don't, you're married.

Source: I, a US citizen, have been told by US immigration officials even to approach together in the US citizens' line with a girlfriend with whom I did not live at the same address (or even in the same country). If that advice applied to us, it should apply even more to a married couple.

(We presented separate customs declarations, and the officer tore up hers and changed the "number of family members traveling with you" on mine.)

Furthermore, I am now married to a non US citizen, and we have different last names, and we always present ourselves together at US passport control.
