Since
Hello,
We use 'for' or 'since' to denote the time period or the starting point of the period respectively in the present perfect tense. The expressions used after 'since' may be a noun phrase stating the point in time or the simple past tense for the same. Somewhere it was written that we can also use 'the present perfect' after the 'since' to denote the time period.
could any one illustrate the same with a few examples?
Thanks.

I cannot. To me it is wrong, even facetious. 'Here' must of course be replaced by 'there '.
