The strike by the immigration and passport workers at the Heathrow and other airports is being taken to the court by the Government to block the strike action.
The public sector workers who are going on strike on Thursday are protesting against the job cuts.
The government is seeking a High Court injunction to block strike action. The Home Office said it believed there was "procedural errors" in a ballot conducted by the PCS union.
The union said it was "confident" the strike was legal and would happen.
The threat of a mass walkout on the day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has been condemned by ministers and Labour alike.
In a ballot earlier this month, 57% of PCS members taking part voted for industrial action, although ministers have said only 12% of total union members participated.
About 16,000 union members were balloted across the Home Office, including in the Border Agency, the Identity and Passport Service and the Criminal Records Bureau.
The Home Office in as statement said that it believed that there was a procedural error in the PCS ballot which it would challenge in the High Court. A request would be heard on Wednesday.
The Home Office said that it wanted the PCS to call off the irresponsible strike and has urged the members not to go on strike when the whole world was watching UK.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said raising issues with the government was fair enough but messing up Olympics for everybody else was a bit cynical.
The PCS union has said 8,500 Home Office jobs were at risk as a result of government cuts, including the threat of compulsory redundancies at passport control and immigration offices.
Sources in the PCS union told the BBC they will "robustly challenge" the injunction.
They said they were "confident" they conducted the strike ballot legally and will be able to proceed with the strike. If the government is successful in the High Court, then the union would be obliged to re-ballot its members.
The government insists contingency plans are in place in the event of industrial action.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said there would still be "ample provision" of staff at Heathrow to "keep the system moving".
