It is highly recommended that you DO NOT book your flight until you have your visa in your hand. You want to enter the US during the valid period of the visa, which is typically about 4 - 6 months from the issue date. Look at the expiration date on your visa once you receive it to be sure. If you wait for six months after you receive the visa, odds are that it will be expired.
