Visit US on tourist B-1 / B-2 visa while H-1b petition is under processing

Hi, My employer has filed an H-1 petition in Apr '14 for that is currently under processing. My wife moved to the US on her H-1b visa a couple of months back. I am planning to visit her for a couple of months. If and when my petition were to get approved, and I were to go for stamping, I was not sure if the VO at the consulate might raise any questions about my visit on B-1 while the petition was under processing. On the other hand, if my petition gets processed while I am in the US, I was hoping if I could get my stamping done in one of the neighboring consulates. Thought I could avoid travel back and forth to my home country in that scenario. Again here, the legal implications of moving in and out on a combination of tourist / non immigrant statuses is what I am not sure about.
