Federal prosecutors on Wednesday released paperwork saying that they can delay the matter until June 21 to decide on how to proceed with charges in the May 1 attempted bombing, in which an SUV laden with gasoline and propane tanks was parked near a Broadway theatre.
Shahzad was arrested on May 3. The ex-budget analyst from Bridgeport, Connecticut, was on a Dubai-bound plane at a New York City airport.
Authorities say he cooperated with investigators for two weeks before asking for a lawyer.
Shahzad was charged with attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and attempted acts of terrorism.
