STUDENT APPLYING FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE IN THE UK EEA3

Hi everyone

I am really in need of advice. I have been in the UK for over five years now and my EEA3 application got rejected on the basis that as a student, I did not have comprehensive sickness insurance. I am currently looking to get a comprehensive sickness insurance and re-apply. I was wondering if I need to have had the CSI for a continuous five years or if all I need is to simply have CSI. Reason I am asking is because a friend of mine applied for permanent residence in the UK by simply getting the CSI and applying for EEA3 as a student through a solicitor and he got the permanent residence. So can I just obtain a CSI now and send an application or do I need to have a solicitor for my application to be successful?

Please let me know if anyone has applied for this and what was asked of you.
