My H1B is valid from Oct 1, 2022. As per approval notice, I'm eligible to enter 10 days prior to that date for settlement and preparations. 

 

Now my fiancee's American family want to vacation in South Carolina for a week, and they're inviting us to join them. As Canadian citizens, we've travelled countless times across the border to vacation and road trip, so that's not an issue.

 

My question is :

Is it alright to enter and exit US in Sept 1st and 2nd week respectively as tourists, and then show up later in Sept 3rd week in the airport seeking an H1B stamp? 

 

To be honest I don't see any problems with the above, but just checking with experts here because US CBP officers and USCIS can be weird sometimes.
