Previously been denied a US B2 tourist visa, my country (Croatia) now joined VWP/ESTA, will I have a lot of issues?

Hi there,

As the title states, I'm a Croatian citizen and I have tried to visit some friends in the US in 2015 by applying to a tourist visa. I was rejected because I didn't provide enough evidence of my ties to my home country. At the time I was a student in the UK and I was pretty young (early 20s).

Croatia just entered the Visa Waiver Program and we can apply to the ESTA thingy. I realise that one of the questions on the ESTA is whether I have been denied a visa previously, which I will of course answer honestly, but I am worried that just due to a previous visa denial I won't be able to visit my friends. My circumstances have changed significantly since 2015, I got my degree, live full time in the UK and I'm pre-settled via the EU settlement scheme (meaning I can live and work here , I had 2 stable jobs and am in full-time employment, I have a car with insurance, I'm renting a private place, and such.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation, is there anything I should do in particular, anyone I should consult before trying to apply for an ESTA? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

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...
