This works for many people but may not work for all. This trick was posted on gottabemobile website.
Nexus 7 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Update Rolling Out Slowly

Here's the trick:

1. Go to Settings -> Apps -> All

2. Find Google Services Framework.

3. Tap on Force Stop.

4. Select Clear Data.

5. Head back to the Nexus 7′s Settings, go to About, and check for a System Update.

Post your success stories below. ;)

EDIT: If it doesn't work the first time, try again. It seems to work on the second try for some people.

Just got the OTA push without trying. Can I delay installation without an annoying popup notification nagging me? Right now it's quietly sitting in my notification bar which is fine so long as it stays there.

I just saw this thread and went into settings to manually check when low and behold it was 60% done downloading and then printed me with this:

Note: I didn't do anything. Not even manually check for the update.

I live in NYC, if that helps.

Is there any danger in stopping Google services framework and clearing data? I'm a little nervous about what this does.

I've done it several times on my Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3 to force OTA updates. No bad side effects thus far. Most of the time, it will just ask you to allow location permissions again.
