How do I get a US Visa for just passing through

How do I get a US Visa for just passing through?
I'm not going to be staying. How do I apply for a Visa for a transferring flight in Dallas? I am only going to be there for a few hours in the airport, how do I sort out visa stuff?

How shall we give you a straightforward answer if you fail to provide information about your citizenship? The United States have abolished the Transit Without Visa program after 9/11. Those who need a tourist visa to come to the United States also need a C-1 transit visa. http://trinidad.usembassy.gov/transit_visas2.html .. The visa can be applied for at the U.S. Embassy or a Consulate General of your [unknown] country [fee $131]. http://www.usembassy.gov/ .. You don't need a transit visa should you hold a passport of Canada, Bermuda, or of one of the 35 countries which can travel to the United States on the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html#countries .. Holding a VWP country passport you need to apply for a prior authorization (ESTA) to transit through the United States. It can be obtained free of charge on the website of the US DHS; just put "in transit to ..." in the address column of the online application form. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/ ..

Follow this link to the ESTA website: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.html?_flowExecutionKey=_c066147DF-D36B-795B-2283-96A0C0D740AD_k4B5AAA0E-A7C3-7EC5-0063-2D251778FB4E Fill in the details and once you submit your application you will be allowed to pass through in transit the USA. You are also allowed 90 days inside the USA itself I believe.
