To me, the "will not" part sounds ambiguous because the "not" could be modifying either "will" or "have". And I might make it even worse like this:
"...will for three years not have seen them." or "...will have for three years not seen them.", to prevent "not" from negating the phrase "for three years". Do you still consider them grammatical?
