Travel to INDIA on OPT

[rehekumar]

Hai this is Aravind,
                            I am a student, I completed my Masters Degree ( ELECTRICAL & COMPUTER ENGINEERING )  and graduated on April 29, 2011. I am in OPT period currently, which started on April 2. I joined CONSULTANCY (e Verified) and got a job as contractor. Currently I am working in a reputed company.


                  I am thinking to go back to INDIA some time in OCTOBER 2011 for  2 Weeks.

Is it safe to go to INDIA while i am on OPT. What are the documents that i need to carry to show the officer at the port of entry.  I did my masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering but I am working as a Software Programmer in a reputed company as contractor. Do i need to carry a client letter with me. I am taking a letter from my Employer(Consultancy) which says that I am working in the field of my Major (Electrical and Computer Engineering).  So how really important is the client letter. Do i need to have pay stubs too.

[b]My consultancy, My university and The place where I am working[/b]  are at 3 different places. To be on the safe side, i am assuming i should enter in to the country(Port of Entry)  which is close to my consultancy. I am assuming New York JFK  is good place for Port of entry. Because it is close to  both my university and Consultancy ( because when i get the letter from my employer it will have the address of my employer on it).  My current work place is in Texas.  Does it really matters if I  have my port of entry in TEXAS. What are the other things that i need to take care in order to get in to the country safely.


Kindly help me out. Your advice is highly appreciated.
