Student Loans Eligibility

Hi there, I'm in a bit of a strange situation and I was wondering if I would be eligible for student loans under these circumstances.

There is a university course that I'm interested in which starts on 17 January 2023 and by 22 October 2022, I will have been in the UK for 3 years so far. I'm also ordinarily residing in the UK as my parents have purchased a house here (if that information helps).

However, I'm not a UK national or have settled status yet since I haven't been here for 5 years. My step-father (who hasn't officially adopted me) is a UK national, I have been living with him and my biological mother for over 10 years. (He cannot adopt me now as I'm already 19.)

I'm here on a "D - Child Visa" which allowed me to enter the UK (in 2019) with my mother as she is married to my step-father.

Would my circumstances hinder my student loans application and/or what sort of evidence would I need to prepare for my application?

Hypothetically, if things went well, would I even be able to receive my loans on time for mid-January if I could apply in late October?

1. For the moment, my top choice would be Games Art and Design at Norwich University of the Arts (Starting September 2023)
2. I turned 20 on 13th January 2022
3. Nationality: Thai, Current Status: Leave to Enter (I'm here on a Dependant Visa because of my British Step-father), Time spent within the UK: Over 2 years (Entered the UK on 22 October 2019)
4. Completed 7 IGCSEs in Hong Kong
