So I filed N400 in November, they received it on 28th November,
I get the Biometrics Notification. For some reason, I thought I take photos with me
either at biometric appt or actual interview. After doing some research,
I should have included it along with the N400 application.

My question is, can I take photos with me at biometrics or interview?
My app/package was not returned nor I've received any kind of letter requesting the photo.
Anybody with similar experience?

Thanks in advance!
 
Well, your local ASC (Biometric Place) will not take any passport photos. They will just do their job and take digital photo and finger prints to mail to FBI. They do not have your n-400 app. But I suggest you prepare in advance, 4 Identical passport style photos to the Interview. You will be ask for 2 of the photos, and you can use the other 2 for your passport app after Oath ceremony. Have 2 photos ready incase they mail out request for them. If they already send you the ASC bio appointment, that mean it is not a big dea,l they'll just get the photo from you later.

If I am not mistaken they will take your picture at the ASC appointment. All of the prior times that my wife has gone to ASC for her green card they used the picture from the appointment even though she sent in passport size pictures with her application. In fact, on USCIS website it states:
Notice: Individuals who file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, and later appear at the Application Support Center (ASC) for biometric capturing are required to submit to a photograph and signature process. If USCIS determines you are eligible for naturalization, this photograph taken at the ASC may be digitally placed on your Certificate of Naturalization. Therefore, USCIS recommends that on the day of your ASC appointment, you dress in clothing that is acceptable for display on your Certificate of Naturalization. USCIS will not reject a photograph for use on your Certificate of Naturalization or issue a replacement certificate based solely upon your desire to modify the photograph shown on your certificate.

I think personally at some point in the future the instructions for various forms will be updated to state a person is not required to send passport size pictures with their applications.
 
Thanks guys! Went in for the biomatics appt today.
The letter clearly sates December 24th for the appointment.
Went to the local office, has a sign on the doors,

"Per Presidential Directive,
this office will be closed on
Monday, December 24.

If you had an appt for 24th,
you will automatically rescheduled
for another appointment.

Please come back on your
rescheduled appointment date."

Now what? Should I call the customer service?
