Sir,

1.I have worked here since 1992.

2.I have been working here since 1992.


Are the meaning same for both the sentences.

"since" here works as preposition.


3. I have not seen her since I left the school.


In this sentence "since" works as "conjuction".


Thanks.

Yes. Those are all correct. 1. and 2. have the same meaning and use "since" as a preposition. 3. has "since" as a conjunction. Yes.
