How soon I should start looking for appointments in December for H1B stamping. Any experiences or advice?

I’m assuming you’ll be leaving the U.S. to get the stamp. Depending on which consulate you’ll be going to for that, it’s possible you may want to get an application in and stamp interview date set up a month or 2 in advance. The consulate I applied mine at was going through a huge influx of visa applications so I applied and set up my appointment about a month and a half ahead of the week I needed to have the stamp.

Thanks for replies. Do you know for how long the DS160 is valid before I take the appointment. And looks like I should fill the DS160 in Aug, take appointment in September for interview in end of November or early December.
