I came through on a K1 and went straight through with no secondary at all (IIRC). However, I would bow to your superior knowledge here.

As for which line to go through, I was told (on a separate occasion) that if I was with a USC, we could go through either line together and there was no need to split up.

No secondary for me either on K1 in 2004 @ Detroit, just a few extra minutes at the regular desk. But OP seems to be already married, so not K1.

My experience was very briefly being asked a few biographic questions at the POE. Then being sent over to Secondary where the CBP officer was busy arguing on the phone to his girlfriend/mom "I'll call you right back/no I'll call you right back/I'LL CALL YOU RIGHT BACK!"

Then took my fingerprints, and Bob's your uncle. All done.

Arrived at san Francisco on the 15th December and was pretty much just waved through.
They have a separate line for immigration at sfo, was a bit disappointed it was not in use that day for some reason and had to join the large visitors queue/line.
