I'm assuming its a connecting flight. It shouldn't be a problem. The only problem that may occur depends on how long it takes to get through Customs because you don't want to miss you connecting flight to Baltimore. He will be entering for the 1st time and sometimes you have to wait a bit for them to file everything. Besides that he should be fine.

K1 Visa Process -> 12/09-06/10 Married -> 09/10/10 AOS Process -> 09/10-12/10 Removal of Conditions-> 09/12-07/13

U.S. Naturalization -> 7/8/20

A few years ago my husband came through Miami by himself, no problems. The visa might take longer than a week. My experience was a while ago but I think it took more like 10 days to get the visa in the mail. But it seems you are in Santiago so I think you can actually pick it up in Santiago. My husband is from outside Puerto Plata so they mailed it. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Four hours should be good enough between the two flights. I'd like to buy our return tickets as well, it's really stressing me out! But I'd hate to buy a ticket a week from the interview and then not have the visa ready by then. I can't imagine the crazy fees I will have to pay to change the flights.

HEY MARIEL!!! I am doing POE at MIA too and read thru the POE REVIEWS... it seems that if you are coming in on a weekday then there is no delays but weekends seems to take 2-3 hours due to all the traveler traffic. Best of luck!
