Who are you looking for vs whom?
Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”’ or “’she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom.

Who are you waiting for or whom are you waiting for?
“Whom” is technically correct. You should use “who” for the subject of the sentence, and “whom” for the object of a verb or preposition. In this case, “whom” is the object of “waiting”.
Is whom do you think you are a correct sentence?
“Who do you think you are?” is not only admissible, it is correct, and “Whom do you think you are?” is incorrect, technically, though it “sounds” more correct. Here’s how: “Whom” is the object form, while “who” is the subject.
WHO identified or whom he identified?
As a ready check in such sentences, simply substitute the personal pronoun “he/him” or “she/her” for “who/whom.” If he or she would be the correct form, the proper choice is who.” If “him” or “her” would be correct, use “whom.”

Is it correct to say you are looking for whom?
