| "since I arrived here." = since the point of time at which I arrived, is correct. "*since I have arrived here" would be wrong. |

Present perfect only very rarely appears in a 'since' clause, Bulone, but it may do so when that action is also ongoing:
I have been talking with Lily since we have been sitting here, and she is a lovely young woman.
