Correct. Eventually, the amendments will be processed making him eligible for a stimulus payment once he then files an informational return. This is not the only option however.
The other option is don't file any amendments for this year and when filing your 2020 returns do not claim him as a dependent. He should file his own 2020 return and indicate that he "CANNOT" be claimed on someone else's return. He will then qualify for the stimulus payment as part of that return.
