I am an Indian passport holder living in the UK. I have a US B1/B2 Visa.

I am planning to travel from London to Miami, arriving at 14:30, then from Miami to Medellin, Colombia at 17:55 on the same day. On the return journey, I will fly from Medellin to Miami, arriving at 16:30, then from Miami to London at 19:40. The two round-trip flights (from London to Miami and from Miami to Medellin) are booked separately, so I won't be traveling on the same ticket.

I am new to this kind of booking and I want to know if I am allowed to travel like this and what potential issues I should be aware of?

As you have the required US visa, there are no visa related issues for you to undertake this journey. US requires you to pass through immigration and customs even on single ticket (few exceptions in case of customs). The potential issue you should be aware of is if a flight gets delayed.

As the tickets are independent, the second airline has no responsibility in case you miss the connection due to any reason, eg, if the first flight gets delayed or other delays at the airport. You will be on your own and will have to book alternative tickets. And if that happens during the outbound journey, the return leg of the missed connection will be canceled.

Apart from the potential issue of missed connections, I don't see any other issue.
