Default How long can I wait before I must move to the US

Hi, I have just had my visa with waiver agreed but I have some things to sort out before I go. Mother with Alzheimer's house sale/rent etcv.
Is there a time limit for moving. So do I have to move to the us within say 3 months after recieving my visa?

Thanks Abraham

You were in a rush to get your waiver. Doesn't your new employer want you to start the job?

Yes and I am looking to go asap but unfortunately circumstances out of my control may mean it would be better to be in the UK for a few more months. And also my employer is aware of this and is very very supportive.

How much time you have depends on the expiration date of the visa.
