Can I work on 1099, if i have a EAD and am the dependent applicant?

Hi everyone, I completed the 1st year on my EAD - I am the Dependent applicant for GC under EB2 - and moving into 2nd year ( Got a 2 yr EAD/AP extension approved - card arrived); Currently i am working on a W2 and got an offer at another company for similar type of work, but they can only do a 1099. Is it possible for me to accept that offer and take up work on 1099 without any affect to my or my Spouse GC process?

With an EAD, you can work in any way you want, including being self-employed and getting a 1099.
