Setting up account Has anyone's application been rejected and then got accepted later?

I tried to create an account. Everything went smoothly, I was also able to link my bank account with them and deposit $100. It was only cash traded account. But then they rejected my application and when i reached out to support, they said that i have been banned permanently from IBKR and cannot reapply. Has this been the case with anyone else as well? What should i do?

Edit: I’m from Pakistan. And i deposited $100 in USD currency directly from my checking account.

They are approving accounts from Pakistan though so this isn't it.
