USA visit visa validity

Hello all


I have a question if anyone can help me please


A week ago I received my USA visit visa for 5 years. I heard that it is mandatory to visit US within 6 months from the date of issuance of visa in order to activate your visit visa for US?


is it really true?


Adding another concern

if the above is true is it mandatory for the full family to visit for the validity or only my husband can visit?


”I mentioned my purpose of visit just to take a tour of some states”


Thank you for your time
