He has a visa and a passport...

He should go to the nearest social security office and they'll give him a list of documents he he needs in order to apply for a social security #

Being in US for 7 years does not automatically allow him to obtain SSN unless he has legal status such as LPR (lawful permanent resident or simply known ad greencard).

Social Security Administration no longer issue SSN to those with temporary visas. At present SSN are issued to LPR and those with employment visas only.
