Question about visas and visa waivers happening in close proximity. Here's the situation.
- I'm in the States right now on a J-1 visa, as a Finnish citizen.
- Visa is expiring in June.
- Me and my employer are in the process of getting a two year residency requirement waiver and H1B, seems to be going swimmingly.
- Plan is to go home in June, gently caress around for a few months, come back in October if my H1B comes through.
Here's the tricky part, I would also like to visit the States in August for around two weeks at most on purely vacation sort of a trip. Wouldn't go anywhere near my old employer or even talk to those guys. I think this should be possible on a ESTA Visa Waiver, and on a quick googling there should be no problem as I've already left the country for a while at that point. I've used Visa Waivers twice before just fine. The HR guy at work however thinks it could affect my H1B application negatively since it would still be processing at that time.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback.
The HR guy is just a startup HR guy with little to no training passing word between me and a lawyer, so I wasn't sure how much I should count on his word. And entering a week early isn't really an option in this case, I'm looking to specifically entering in late August for a week long event. I guess I'll weigh my options.
