How long does it take approximately to get from Terminal 4 to terminal 7?

Hello, I'm getting to JFK from Chile at 8am through LAN airlines and the next flight is a domestic one, through United Airlines, 2 hours later. My question is, am I gonna be alright with 2 hours, or should I buy new tickets.
Extra info:
-I'm not a US citizen. I have Argentine citizenship.
-I scheduled that transition myself.
-I am 20 years old

If you happen to have experience and 2 minutes, please answer my question. Thanks.

you need more time. Customs can take as long as 1 hour (sometimes more) for foreign travellers. Also you should arrive to check in at a flight at least 2 hours before it departs. you need therefore 3-4 hours really.

Take the air train to Jamacia train station. Get on the Lng Island Railroad east bound either the Ronkonkoma brandch or the south shore branch. Check with information at Jamaica when you buy your ticket.
Good luck
