That practically never happens. Once your petition is approved you'd get to know in the last week of sepm then the original i797 has to be couriered to you from the USA. Then you have to fill up your ds160 form, pay the mrv fee and book a stamping appointment. Assuming the current trend stays you will get a date in 2 months. Add another week to receive your passport, and then you'd book your tickets. So practically forget reaching the US in dec. Earliest you may be able to manage is December, January being more realistic.

Yes. It will be 2024 by the time you'd be travelling. By that time the job market should improve.

Thank you for the response, but looks like earliest you can travel is by october 1st this year

Understood. Only those who have job in hand and filed premium petition travel early.
