The residency status of the US citizen is completely irrelevant, they have to use the US citizen line. The foreign spouse has to use the alien line. But if they live together, they're supposed to have one customs paper. What gives?
Like many threads, we went way off track. I was suggesting, for whatever reason, that there aren't too many spousal relationships where one (more or less permanently) resides in Angola and the other in Guam. But the moment passed a long time ago and the dead horse begs not to be flogged any longer.
