i have already waited for a year vs i have already been waiting for a year

Both phrases are correct, but express slightly different meanings. 'I have already waited for a year' implies the waiting period is over, while 'I have already been waiting for a year' suggests the waiting is ongoing. The choice between the two phrases depends on if you want to emphasize the completion of the waiting period or the continuous nature of the waiting.
