On what basis do you want to set the value for the variable 'status' as 1 ?
You need to tell everybody that.
If you want it to be 1 all the time, hard code it to 1, in the Expression for the variable 'status'. (In your UserVariablesActivity)

What does 'status' mean? how are you getting that value? This should have been asked in the very begining.

Buddy, you are getting confused and confusing everybody else too.
Like Ray and Craig said you might be looking for something else and you are asking for something else.

User_Variables_Activity is different from UserStatus.
The variable name what you choose 'status' added to the confusion.

Not rather than putting forth your design.
Let everybody know what you want to achieve? We can go ahead from there.

Btw is this your job desing?
user variable activity------>job1 nested conditional activity----->job1
user variable activity------>job2 ------>job2
Or you would like to align it, as others did for you.

Activity variables - of any kind - are only accessible from upstream activities - that is activities to which the current activity is connected by a series of links.

But - if I read your requirement correctly - you don't need a User Variables activity at all. Your "status" could - should - be a job parameter. The Nested Condition activity can test this and, on the basis of its value, decide whether to execute job1 or job2.
