Thanks for your reply i refused 4-5 time in 2 month and i was not aware about this matter

That's a lot of applications in a very short time!

If you apply for a B2 visa now, I can guarantee your application will be denied.

You must wait a reasonable time to increase your chances as explained before, however it is not a guarantee of approval.

Be sure you can demonstrate strong roots in the UK when applying. This includes all your family members: wife, children need to apply at the same time too, in case they need a visitors visa.

Well i will play end of this year again i mean after 7 month and lets see hows its goes ..

4 - 5 time ESTA refusals + returned home from the airport by a US immigration officer (who probably updated your records with the immigration).

I wouldn't try to apply again for 5 to 10 years. Then if you apply for a visa, prepare to show strong ties to the UK.

Don't do that, unless you want to mess up your chances and probably be banned to enter the US forever.

With so many attempts in a short time, they will see you desperate and a potential immigrant to the US. They know that someone trying for a tourism visit only doesn't do what you have been doing.

I agree. I see this heading towards a lifetime ban.

You can still get a US visa in the future if you can prove that you're eligible. For example you have good income, own a property, have a family in the UK and so on.

There's no such thing as ban of people of Islamic religion. There are a lot of people from Pakistan, and other Muslim-majority countries who travel or immigrate to America every year.

Your mistake was to answer "no" on your ESTA application, when you in fact were refused a visa in the past. You may have changed your citizenship, but you're still the same person. It's not just about citizenship, but about who you are and what you say. They trust your word, and if you lie, the trust will be breached.

The same will happen to a US citizen who lies on their visa application for UK. They will also be refused.

As I said, you can still try to get a visa in the future via normal visa application process, just explain to the consular officer what happened. And prove that you have a good travel history. This in combination with your overall circumstances can show that you're a genuine visitor.

Previously denied a visa or immigration benefit

If you were previously denied a visa, or previously refused entry to the United States, or previously removed from the U.S., your ESTA application will most likely be denied.

If you were allowed to board your carrier, you may be subject to additional processing upon arrival at U.S. ports of entry, and may be denied admission to the U.S. Applicants who are uncertain of whether they qualify for travel under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) are encouraged to apply for ESTA authorization early, to allow time to apply for a visa, if needed.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that if they were denied a visa when they were a citizen of one country, then become a citizen of another country, they can travel to the U.S. under the visa waiver program using their new passport. That is wrong. The eligibility question about having been denied a visa does not ask whether or not the denial was made after you became a citizen of another country. It asks, "Have you ever been denied a visa?" - period. If you answer "No" then we determine that you have been denied a visa in the past, we consider that to be fraud, and you will be barred from entry for a number of years. It is better to admit the truth, and then apply for a visa, than go through the experience of being deported for fraud.

Note: INA Section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) - Fraud and Misrepresentation

What does a denial under INA section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) mean?

You were refused, or found ineligible, for a visa under section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) because you attempted to receive a visa or enter the United States by willfully misrepresenting a material fact or committing fraud. This is a permanent ineligibility, so every time you apply for a visa, you will be found ineligible for this reason.

You will be advised by the consular officer if you can apply for a waiver of this ineligibility. Review Waivers of Ineligibility for more information.

What is meant by misrepresentation of a material fact?

Misrepresentation means that you falsely presented facts and were not truthful in an attempt to receive a visa or enter the United States. A fact is considered material, as it pertains to this section of the INA, when, had the truth been known, you would not have been eligible to receive a visa or enter the United States.

Applying for a Nonimmigrant Visa: How to Apply for a Waiver of Your Misrepresentation

If your nonimmigrant visa application is determined to contain false information and is denied, you will need to submit a new visa application and request a waiver from a U.S. consulate outside the United States. There is no special form to file with the visa application. Instead a consular officer will:

1. schedule an interview for you and question you about the false information provided
2. after the interview, decide whether a waiver should be granted, based on your explanation and the type of misrepresentation and its seriousness; the reason for your travel to the U.S.; and any effects of your travel, whether positive or negative, on the interests of the U.S. public.

The consular officer will report to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with a recommendation as to whether or not to grant the waiver. If the consular officer does not completely feel you deserve a waiver for your misrepresentation, and makes an unfavorable recommendation to the DHS, your application will likely be denied again.

Well i got strong ties in U.K own business kids own house .

That's good!

Now you must wait a reasonable amount of time before a new attempt to increase your chances. I would suggest summer 2022 as an earliest date, the later the better.

Not sure your kids (and wife) are British and don't need a visa, otherwise you all would need to apply for a visitors visa. US immigration officials tend to dislike people with kids traveling for tourism or asking for a B2 visa alone without a very strong reason. If they can get an ESTA, get copies of their passports that you can show them if asked to demonstrate they will travel with you.

You don't need to explain to the consular officer about any past issues if they don't ask during the interview, they already know about it. They like plain answers to the questions. A simple yes or no is enough to many of them.
