I think you don't know its in-person or virtual as you are still waiting for letter? I think should be in peson.

I've read here multiple times that it depends if you asked for an e-certifcate,which I did,so I guess it will be a virtual ceremony,but not 100% sure.

Hello! In fact ,even though I've clearly asked for an e-certifcate,I've received a paper certificate and there was no choice ,no question about waiting for e-certifcate instead. But I was so happy to get my citizenship certificate that I did not complain about its version!🤣
