'I am been there' is not a grammatically correct sentence.
These are the variations:
I was there... (...last Wednesday)
I have been there.... (...during the cherry blossom season.)
I had been there.... (...two days before the tsunami hit.)
I will be there.... ( ...after the

Grammatically "I am being there" is also possible I think...It's just that its meaning is weird

Hi Maverick,
I should have at least started off my little list with, 'I am there'. I didn't, because I couldn't think of an appropriate situation for it...until you posted.
In a scenario where, for instance, you are under hypnosis, and the hypnotist is telling you to go back 40 years. After a few moments, he whispers, "Are you there now?" "Yes, I am there."

Neither of your phrases are reasonably possible in standard English, Anon.
It having been the first is a usable nonfinite clause: It having been the first rollercoaster ride of my life, it upset my stomache.

The 'having being' is not right. And there are a couple other mistakes, too. If you'd like additional help, try posting the sentence that comes before this one, and maybe the one that follows it, too.
