Travelling to the US as tourist while on OPT
Upvote:1
A Google search for "opt reentry as tourist" shows that many universities say the same thing your advisor told you, that being admitted to the US as a tourist would invalidate your OPT.
You've correctly identified the potential problem: "I'm not there to start work, so I'm not sure if I can be admitted under F1". The limitation seems surprising, and you're not even guaranteed to have problems with it, but it's too much of a risk. You would be well advised to enter the US only for the purpose of your OPT work. In your case this means either cancelling your week-long trip, or going to it with the plan to stay in the US until you start work.
