COS to F-1 / Possible layoff while I-539 in progress

If my I-539 (COS H1B-F1) gets filed 42 days before my H1B expires then? 

 

1)How much issue is in the fact that I couldn't file my I-539 45 days prior to my H1B expiring? 

 

2)Start my classes before I-539 gets approved? 

 

3) What if I lose my job 32 days before my H1B expires and I have my I-539 in progress, am I going to have to leave the country before starting school?

As long as you have a valid I-20 and a timely filed COS petition you can begin classes pursuant to the I-20 included with the COS petition even if the petition is still pending when classes begin.  To discuss this in more detail it is advisable to speak directly with a qualified U.S. immigration attorney.
