Narrative:
In heavy WX on approach for runway 9R at mia, controller ws so busy he forgot to ask us to descend and/or slow. We attempted to make contact with approach without result. He then told us to switch to tower. Upon initial contact with tower, we executed a missed approach. Previous controller did not do the handoff and tower had no idea we were there. Joined downwind for runway 12 per tower and landed without further incident.
