Give yourself LOTS of time to change planes. I don't care if it normally runs like a well oiled machine - 3.5 hours and i barely had enough time to grab a bite and run to my plane.
I think you just hit a bad day. EWR's inbound customs and immigration is usually one of the quickest one's I've been through. 15-20 minutes to get through immigration, pick up my bag (if I'm carrying one) and to walk out the front door. I've never (in over 15 inbound international flights last year) had it take more than 30 minutes.
