Interview
A long process that begins with a panel interview in Target Language (which was unexpected) followed by language proficiency tests, and a background investigation for fitness in federal service. could take anywhere from 6 months to a year or more. If you are a US citizen and have all your documents and degrees ready, with little foreign or overseas connections, should not take as long.
