I have a quick question regarding the DS160 form. From the day the form becomes available for me to file how long can I wait before submitting it? I know it's valid for 30 days to submit after starting it. But I want to know how long I can wait before starting it? Would it be possible for me to delay starting it for a month or two?

It's valid for 30 days since you start to put your info in it. So you have 30 days to complete it and send. If not, it'll expire and you have to fill a completely new one. You can start it whenever you want, but without DS-160 you'll not be able to schedule your interview (cuz you need the DS form number)

I would keep in mind that an approved I-129f is valid for only 4 months.  The Department of State could allow it to expire if you wait too long.  I would hesitate to let it sit too long.
