I would add that if you have tried unsuccessfully for 9 years, so probably you should question your way of submitting and read the site help section.
Last but not least, this is mainly a user forum here, and when I read your message, I really do not feel like helping you...

Am I to assume that you are an employee? Also, I am an actor who has worked and it doesn't bother me if you personally don't want to help. If the issue had been addressed before, I wouldn't still be asking the question. I am tired of filling out the same forms on what movies and what characters I portrayed, even as background. All I get are generated emails saying we will submit and get back to you. What is the hold up? Keep it professional.

You are hitting the wrong target: I have been a benevolent contributor to IMDB for more than 20 years, and thank God, not an actor. IMDB is a entertainment data repository, not a promotion tool for the California movie industry. E basta'
Can you direct me to who can fix the issue? Since there is no phone number, who can fix the issue. I Thank you for your service.

Official IMDb staff will have to check your submitted updates and get back to you. It’ll take some days, so be patient.
But like I said, if you keep adding credits without any proof, there’s a very good chance that they’re rejected. And no, you don’t get any e-mails that they’re ”rejected”. If these credits are ”uncredited” (not fully sure what you mean by ”background”, though), providing some proof is even more crucial. More info:

Yes I submitted them the correct way, listed as uncredited. I appreciate you looking into it. It is very frustrating.

Sorry to hear about the problems. There are a few things relevant here ...
1. It's always worth checking the help section at https://help.imdb.com/contribution which often contains the solution to any problems.
2. All your submissions were processed and accepted at the time they were contributed. However, from https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/i-worked-on-a-title-but-did-not-recei... please see:
3. We are not sure where you read that IMDb will get back to you when things are processed, but this is not the case. You may proactively check the status of a limited (and growing) number of contribution types, but filmography additions are not yet covered, sorry.
For details of when things will be processed, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/when-will-my-update-be-added/GEK... Generally over 95% of all contributions are processed within 24 hours -- the oldest waiting data in each section is always shown on https://contribute.imdb.com/times ... if the date you submitted something is older than the relevant date shown here, and it is not live, it means there was a problem (in this case, see #2 above).
We hope the above helps.

You need to have at least one pre-existing credited entry in the database. We will not display filmographies consisting exclusively of uncredited work. We may make an exception in very rare/specific circumstances (e.g. on movies released before 1990, episodes released before 2000 and/or for high-profile credits, such as an uncredited cameo appearance by a celebrity), but in most cases we will not list an uncredited credit unless you have a pre-existing credited filmography.As soon as you are credited on-screen for the first time, all of the (uncredited) appearances already stored in IMDb will appear. If you have already received an on-screen credit then please submit this for processing.

"You may proactively check the status of a limited (and growing) number

sorry." Put it on the reform todo list please.
