Travel to USA with a WVP passport when previously rejected visa. Can anyone help?

[mensik]

Hello,

My case is the following:
I have previously attempted to obtain tourist visa to USA twice and both of the times been rejected under section 214(b) which states: lack of evidence that the visa applicant will return to his/hers country of residence. That was with my first citizenship and the last time I was rejected was several years ago. Now I am already a citizen of a country that participates in Visa Waiver Program whose citizens do not need visa to travel to US. But after the rejections I think that I need to obtain visa from the embassy first if I eventually would like to travel to USA again some day? Or...?
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any answers on this?
Thanks!

You cannot use the VWP if you have been rejected for a visa, regardless of the residency/citizenship. You have to apply for a visa.

Would my new western citizenship and passport influence their decision in a possitive way if I go and apply again for a tourist visa or I have to meet absolutely the same requirements as before? I have never met or heard about anyone whose case is similar as mine. I think (though they did not give any certain explanation) that their refusal was based on the fact that I was single and with no property. Regarding the job and the salary which I also stated to them, I don't think that in US I would get so much as here working the same type of job, even legally.

You still have to overcome 214(b) on your own.
