Getting H1 paychecks after changing status to F1

I am filing for a change-of-status from H1 to F1. My I-20 has course commencement date of 20th August. I heard that I can't get onto F1 more than a month before that date. But apparently, the immigration department will decide the actual date. It could very well be 20th July. My last date with the company that I work for is 3rd August. But, I expect to finish my quota of work by mid-July. From that point, I will get paid till 3rd August although I don't show up for work. Would getting the paychecks create a problem with immigration department if they put me on H1 on 20th July?
Thanks in advance.

no problem, since work will be performed before the change of status is adjudicated.

LucyMO,

Thank you for answering questions in this forum.

I'm currently in H1B. I will be filing my change of status to F1 for my MBA. After I graduate, am I still part of the cap if I want to work under H1? Is the application considered a change of status or is it a transfer of H1?
