Visa waiver program (ESTA) for Polish national with previously denied visa

Hi everyone! My girlfriend is from Poland and in 2018 she was denied a touristic US Visa while living in the Netherlands. The reasons were, according to the embassy official, that they were not sure she was coming back to Europe. She was regularly and legally working in the Netherlands, renting a house, paying taxes, etc, but it was not enough.

From 2019, it is possible for Polish nationals to apply for an ESTA and go 90 days to the US visa-free. If she hadn't apply to the visa in 2018, she would be now able to get an ESTA and go to the US, so she was quite unlucky. So my question is: which are the chances that she can get an ESTA approved? Now, here you can read that:

" 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 "

However, the article mostly refers to people that became citizens of a new country, which is not my girlfriends case. There is similar information here. Also, as secondary question, have you maybe heard/do you know of any Polish national that has been rejected for a visa application but managed to get an ESTA?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
