Dependent not approved

My friend's case got approved in March but his son is not approved as son turned 14 years. USCIS sent biometrics/fingerprints notice two months back but still son's case is not approved. USCIS is now saying that visa numbers are not available. Due to retrogession it looks like it may take a while before son will get his approval as his priority date is 2002. So now question that comes to mind:

1: Can my friend's son apply for social security number?
2. Does son eligible to apply for EAD and work part time?
3. Do son get driver's licence/permit once he turns 15 years without social security number?
4. Is there any age limit after which dependent no longer considered as dependent? like 18 or 21? For ex. If son turns 18 and still his case is not approved then does he have to file student visa or something?
5. What is son's status?
6. Is there any problem in getting into college if I-485 is still pending?

I appreciate if you could share your experience.

One reason for a case to be taken out of order is if the applicant is in danger of "aging out" -- becoming disqualified for the visa because the applicant is turning 21. In those cases, the Department may process the case out of order to make sure that the applicant can be issued the visa number.

EAD can be got .. After EAD one can get social security ... and the D/L.
He won't be out of status if 485 is pending.. college no problem.

Good luck
