You need to attach the submit handler only after the form has been appended to the DOM. So, you need to first make sure the login_box_comment function is called and only then attach the event because if the form is not present in the DOM the jQuery won't do anything:

login_box_comment();
$('#status > form').submit(function() {
    alert('working');
});

or simply attach the submit handler inside the login_box_comment function:

login_box_comment = function() {
    $('body').append('.......');
    $('#status > form').submit(function() {
        alert('working');
    });
    $('#login_form_modal').modal();
};
