Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1610/143/TB=1430)

You have intended to keep sunnah beard, may Allah give you determination and barakah. You should grow beard at least to one fist size, then you can trim the extra length. It is also allowable to set the beard by trimming the hair on jaw-line towards the ear.
