Dormant agent, illegal agents are trained to blend in by assuming what’s called a legend, a whole backstory. There were loads of Russian born dormant agents in the USA during the Cold War sporting fake U.S. or Canadian IDs. No need to be a native of a country to pretend you are from there, being a spy is a job, unlike others, but nonetheless a job.
And it takes more than two hours to be one.
