I have been vs i has been

The correct phrase is "I have been." The verb "have" is used with the pronoun "I" to form the present perfect tense. "I has been" is incorrect because the verb form "has" is used with third-person singular subjects like "he," "she," or "it."

I have been

Correct. This phrase is commonly used in English to indicate an action that started in the past and continues into the present.
