Naah don't have any info.
Need the sages to explain, the East Indian population growth in the tough days and the decrease in the good days.
Because if you are less simplistic in your thoughts you will understand lots of people put in papers in the late 70s and began actual migration in the 80s. Many then sponsored families who got their visas and left. People waited years and did not want to risk regretting an the dark shadow of the PNC still loomed.
During the latter part of the PPP reign, the US started granting lots of holiday and visitors’ visas as people were not overstaying. Those people were no longer desperate to move.
Banna you fumbling thinking too much of PNC.The East Indian population was still growing up to 80's, although they were sponsored by migrating relatives in the 70's, clearly the population was not stagnant.
By the 80's and to date people started to migrate, due to sponsorship and those who overstayed their visitors visa. You are correct during the PPP years, more visitors visa was issued, than the PNC years,many overstayed their visa hence the decreased to date.
Look at the data of Africans, their numbers are pretty stable.
