Immigration lines at the airport - Which line to stand in?

Yes, my passport is in my maiden name, but that wasn't the issue here. The person at the front of the line at Logan (not even sure if they are immigration officials) never saw our passports. He just saw my husband's green I-94 form, and said that he had to go in the other line. I told him that we were married, and asked if we could go through together, but he insisted that while we could go through the non-citezens line together, we couldn't go through the US line. I don't know if this is actually policy at Logan (we have gone through together at Newark a few times) or if this guy just didn't know what he was talking about. Probably the latter, which is why I say that it's down to whoever is at the front of the queue, although it seems that people are generally able to go through the US line together with no problems.

Just a thought - maybe on some occasions they have the more experienced IO's working the foreign lines and the newer people work the US line where it's a more simple process.

I guess you have to start people somewhere.

We usually fly through Newark as well.
