One cannot be 100% sure of anything, but before doing something major like buying a house you should be aware of the risks and be confident that you can withstand the risks. Lots of people who bought 2 years ago thought they were not taking a risk. They didn't realize that house prices could actually drop, and they didn't realize that the interest rate on adjustable rate mortgages could actually go up by a lot.
When I was on H1B I considered it too risky to buy a house. I would not have enjoyed living in it, because it would have made me worry too much about what would happen if I lost my job. But once I got my first EAD, the risks fell within my tolerance and I bought something.
