SSN for a minor child

[Danny&Adri 1]

I'm just trying to make sure I understand. Here's what I've learned (or at least been told) so far:

• > Adriana (K1 applicant, now my wife ) received SSN and has applied for EAD.
  > Nicky (K2 applicant, 10 years old) was turned down when SSN was requested.
  > I am doing taxes and will completed W-7 for Nicky, which gives a ITIN instead of a SSN.
  > The ITIN will look like an SSN but start with a "9".
  

Question 1: When Nicky gets to be 16 and wants to work, will he then need to apply for the SSN and EAD?

Question 2: If we were to open a bank account for Nicky today, would the ITIN be sufficent?

Any input to these questions, or just general information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

A1: I would expect Nicky will be a permanent resident long before the age of 16 and won't need an EAD. The permanent resident card will allow you to get SSN.

A2: Yes.
