For one thing, your image tag is invalid <img src="<wait.png" > should look like <img src="wait.png"/>

As for the loader, $.ajax has an option called beforeSend. You can use it like so:

                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: url_check_user_avail_status, 
                    data: "value_email_mobile="+value_email_mobile,
                    beforeSend: function () {
                                    $("#loader").show();
                                },
                    success: function(msg) { // success code here
                         $("#loader").hide();
                     });

write this code is working for all ajax request fire on your website.

$( document ).ajaxStart(function() {
    $("#loader").show();
});

Then write ajax stop code.

$( document ).ajaxStop(function() {
    $("#loader").hide();
});

$.ajax doesn't have start method. Instead you can just show the spinner before calling $.ajax and it will work fine.

if (value_email_mobile !== '') {

    $("#loader").show();

    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: url_check_user_avail_status, 
        data: "value_email_mobile="+value_email_mobile,
        success: function(msg) {
            $("#loader").hide();
        },
        error: function() {}
    })

   // ...
