1 - Two hours in Miami may not be enough. Call the airline and see if they can move you to a later flight. If you are out of secondary quickly you can still try and catch the earlier flight. in any case, the airlines tend to be accommodating if you miss your connection because of immigration lines.

2 - after you get married, you will need to file for adjustment of status at which time you may obtain your EAD which is you authorization to work. You can't work until authorized by the USCIS, so you will not be able to work right away. Prepare yourself for a few weeks or months of waiting.

3 - Whenyou arrive at the immigration hall, seek an immigration officer, show him/her your paperwork and, ask if he/she can send you to secondary for processing, thus avoiding having to wait in line, only to be sent to secondary. Depending on their workload they may send you straight through to processing without the wait. You can always try.

Felicitaciones y buena suerte!!!

For a K1 Visa, you will just get an entry stamp plus the I-94 card. (arrival/departure card). The CBP officer will put a date on that I-94 card and tell you to make sure you get married before that date. Other than that, they will take your package and keep it and wish you well on your way.

Good luck. Miami is a big airport. I agree with Gegel that 2 hours may not be enough. Better to be safe than sorry and give yourself more time than that.

I agree. I always make sure I have AT LEAST 2 hours to go through US customs and immigration and I am a US Citizen which means I get to go through quickly. Better to have 4 hours if you can arrange it that way.

Miami tends to be a circus when many flights arrive simultaneously, which is pretty much all the time. 2 hours in Miami is too short; take into account it is your port of entry and you'll have additional time to get your paperwork taken care (together with possibly several other people). There are many flights to LA and you probably want to give another 2 hours (total of 4), but that depends on your arrival. Assuming it's American or LAN, and that you started in Lima around midnight, there should not be a problem getting another flight. If you start around 7am, it could be complicated. At same time, check what is the cost difference and it might be that an even later flight is less expensive; and day of the week also makes a difference. If at all possible, take a middle of the week flight. Take into account that a coast to coast flight is several hours and that an American flight might have a stop over in Dallas, make sure you have some snacks to eat while waiting.
