Would obviously need to clear passport control on arrival, collect baggage, drop off baggage and check in with American Airlines before proceeding through security screening. Alternative option is a connection time of 5.5 hours. Each
flight is booked on separate tickets. Should be one of the first passengers off the Air France
flight hopefully.
You don't need to worry. It happens frequently that people miss their connection and they are rebooked onto the next one. The wait times for US processing can be unpredictable, but for the next 2-3 years it's unlikely you will have to wait long for immigration processing.
Bear in mind, though, that whatever times your flights are currently advertised for, they are unlikely to run at those times.
