There is a question about being refused a via on the ESTA application. Be prepared to discuss how you forgot your prior applications.

 

Caution very much depends what it is for.

From what you wrote, It sounds like you were refused a visa 2 or 3 times in early 2000s..recently filled out and approved for ESTA…but you must’ve lied on there because it asks if you were denied a visa in the past..to me, it sounds like they denied you because of this, not due to the caution. The way the ESTA app words the criminal section, it asks if you committed a crime where you caused serious damage or harm to someone, and if you only received a caution, I’m guessing it wasn’t a crime like that. If they find out you’ve lied on ESTA, they will revoke and you’re only way in moving forward would be an actual visa.  And with this, you will probably have a lot of explaining to do during the B2 visa interview. Why were you refused before?

I personally would not go with the confusion thing, after all you might also get confused about how long you can stay, if you can work or not etc.

ESTA asks if you have been denied a visa with a current or previous passport. So that question explicitly asks whether you, as a person (regardless of current or past citizenships), have ever been denied one.

Have you ever been denied a U.S. visa you applied for with your current or previous passport, or have you ever been refused admission to the United States or withdrawn your application for admission at a U.S. port of entry?
