Is there a transit lounge or do you have to clear immigration? I don't recall ever seeing one, but this way old thread mentions one:

There is no international transit in the USA, with very limited exceptions (NZ1/2 and I think a BR flight in ANC). IAH E and EWR C3 were designed to support such transit, but the US Government decided that they were too xenophobic to allow such a a convenient and friendly thing.
