How long do you have to file domestic violence charges in Oklahoma if you have witnesses and photographs of the incident?

You should file those charges immediately. If you wait, the court will wonder why you waited if the situation was serious enough to file charges. You will not be taken seriously if you continue to live with or spend time with the abuser before filing charges. You should have filed a police report immediately and the police would have taken photos. It is puzzling that you would want to wait to press charges. The longer you wait the less attention you will get.

How long to expect district attorney to press charges?

That depends on what the charges are since there is a statute of limitations on many crimes/charges. And, the length of time on that also varies from one crime/charge to another, depending on what the crime/charge is. The only one I know of that has no statute of limitations is murder. Google something like "statute of limitations in (your state) on (the charge)." This should help you get more specific info on what you are looking for.
