During this twenty-four hour period there may be additional delays at border control. Individual ports, airports and international rail terminals will be affected. UKBA says that they have plans in place to reduce the impact of the strikes.
Fortunately, it seems that overseas visa services will not be affected by the strike. Premium service applications for visas from within the UK may be affected by the strike. Other Government immigration services will probably be largely unaffected.
