Travelling as a family with different passports

My wife (UK Passport), daughter (UK and US Passports) and I (US Passport) are travelling back to the states in September for a holiday.  What's the best way for us to go through immigration when entering the US and then when returning to the UK?  Can we go through together even though we are on different passports, or must we separate inot citizen and non-citizen lines? I am concerned because sometimes, the wait on the non-citizens line is much longer and I just don't like the idea of us being separated.

Thanks

Just to clarify, I am on FLR here on the UK, if that makes a difference....

DH (UK) and I (US) always go through the US line together when we enter the US.  You guys should be able to go through as a family -- just make sure that you use your daughter's US passport when entering the US. 

I did that once in Atlanta, and I was told off for it. I went through the American line and he was going throught the immigrant line and the big black immigration lady...gave me a mouth full...

Said I was to go through with him in the immigrant line.

So last year when all 7 of us (4 USA and 3 Non) I asked the first person directing traffic for the lines and she pointed us in the direction of the immigrant line...and to go through as a family unit.

That is my 2 experiences........

oh the 2nd time was in Chicago....

When returning to the UK, you should be able to go through the UK/EU with your wife and daughter.

Yep...that is what the twins and I did with husband a few weeks ago.

If you're travelling with a baby, don't worry about it and pick the shortest line.  But don't ask, just do it.   

DH had some hassle last time when we went through in separate lines on the US side (particularly because the return tickets were in my handbag and they wanted to see his!), so I'd agree that you should go through together. Then coming back here I asked, and they told us to both go through the visa holders line together.
