What do you think of my plan? Using the VWP to board and my F-1 visa to enter? Could the seer existence of the ESTA file create problems for me?
You will not be able to get your passport before you are inspected by US CBP. This is a fast way to be refused entry and never be able to use the program in the future. I also doubt that you will be able to get the ESTA approval in time.
