Selection Interview
The selective interview will generally be held in person with the interviewers at a location of their choice, generally the office building they work at.

These are really formalities as the decision is most likely already made and you have the position. The hiring manager may want to introduce you to his or her boss as a matter of formality before actually offering you the position.
