INS COMPLETES TESTING OF PILOT CITIZENSHIP EXAM PROGRAM The INS has completed testing of a pilot program offering citizenship civics and history testing at five INS Application Service Centers. These are the INS offices where fingerprints are taken. The test program was implemented in Arlington, Virginia; Fresno, California; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Providence, Rhode Island; and San Antonio, Texas. The new program may replace the current system of testing applicants at the time of the citizenship interview or at outside INS-licensed testing centers. The INS is said to be considering switching to such a system nationwide as a result of the discovery of fraud at several outside testing centers. The INS would also like to increase consistency in testing. Applicants who received fingerprint appointment notices took the tests and not to people whom showed up without an appointment. Approximately 1,500 people took part in the testing program, which ended October 3rd. Eighty-eight percent of these applicants passed the test.
