I haven't seen her in a long time vs I haven't saw her in a long time

The correct phrase is 'I haven't seen her in a long time.' 'Seen' is the past participle of 'see' and should be used with the auxiliary verb 'have' to form the present perfect tense. 'Saw' is the simple past form of 'see' and is not appropriate in this context.
