travel in OPT

[ramana maiti]

Hi, i need you all to take some time and review my situation.

My OPT expires january 15th 2015(next year) and on the same day jan 15th 2015 my F1 expires, i know that i can go for extension which is not a problem. all i want to know is

1) I want to travel to india in november 2014 and return in 1 month.is it possible to travel 2 months before your visa expires(still have OPT and extension too)?
2) what is the best bet to clear the port of entry, if they ask me about my "F1 expires in 2 months and why do you want to return"?
3)what are the documents i need to carry.

this travel is very important for me. what are the possible ways.

please i expect more thoughts on this thank you.

Appreciate your help!!!
