I think the CBP officer will see the CR1 visa stamp in your passport and activate it, instead of allowing you in under VWP.

It is up to the discretion of the CBP officer.

According to one of Krikit quote:

"I'm one of the people who entered the US with the visa in my passport and requested not to have it endorsed. I just explained that I would be using it at a later date as I had a house to sell and a job to resign from. That was at the Buffalo/Fort Erie Peace Bridge. As Flames says..... your mileage may vary.

You also have the option of delaying your interview, and/or explaining the circumstances to the Consulate Officer and requesting the visa not to be issued until a later date. This will involve sending in your passport when you're ready to leave, but it also means a delay as Montreal is still dealing with a severe backlog. "
