What's the risk of changing from H-1 to F-1

[weekdays]

I didn't realise there is risk when doing this status transfer until I read some post here. My status among these years was first F-1, then H-1B. I am running out of H-1 soon now and I am going to join pharmD program this fall.

Of course I had tried to get a labor certificate during these years, would that be counted as intent of immigration? Would they use this against my F-1 application? I am getting really scared right now.

Another question is regarding the legal pending periord. I just want to make sure that as soon as I get receipt from USCIS on my status transfer, I am considered legal, even without a job, is that right?

Please help out, I am so stressed now.

Labor certification is not an immigration process.
Would they use this against my F-1 application? No, not at all.But you must show your financials for entire courseI am getting really scared right now.
