The correct syntax would be:

insert into immense.statususer (statususer_id, statususer_type) values
((SELECT nextval( 'statususer_statususer_id_seq' )),'customer');

The sub-select must be put in parentheses. However, the much simpler
statement

insert into immense.statususer (statususer_id, statususer_type) values
(nextval( 'statususer_statususer_id_seq' ),'customer');

will do the same without a sub-select.
