More details to this question:
I am currently on a J2 visa and applied for EAD for first year and got my social security. Later I started my own online business and I forgot to renew my EAD. I believe that it was for 3 years but later found that it was only for 1 year. Now my wife is granted a job on H1 and we are applying for H1-B visa next month.

You can be employed or self-employed only if you have a valid visa, allowing that, or a special status: permanent resident, an asylee, etc.
