Hi I am British and my US Visa is just going through now, when I make my trips to the US will I still have to queue in the Non-US citizen line or could I go in the US line? Thanks in advance, Kelgar

Unless you are a US citizen or green card holder, you join the visitor/non US citizens line. A non immigrant visa does not entitle you to anything.

Use the search facility - there was a very lengthy thread involving questions just like yours here in SLF a couple months ago where you might find more information that might be of use

Bealzebub is correct ... same queue, different form (white for visa holders, green for not). The difference is that if you have a visa, a reason has to be given to refuse you entry, whereas with a visa waiver you waive all rights to appeal entry refusal.

This is the thread which refers to being married to a USC in which case you can go through US lines on VW or visa.
