an adequate UNKNOWN
and nothing else!

The most useless immigrants for me are peasants with no combat ability, just useless social skills.

Also, I usually delegate most of the jobs to specialists (especially mining, as every stone is useful) while, depending on what I'm doing in that particular fort, I'll usually turn on masonry for the unskilled masses so they can aid in building walls and towers and what-not.

Legendary fish dissector. How the hell do you make a living at the mountainhomes dissecting fish?

He was posted there to study ways of defeating the carp menace.

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

I got one of them to0.

Dwarf Therapist called him an adequate UNKNOWN, but the game itself called him an adequate Military Tactician...

He became my bookkeeper.

Dabbling miner.

Seriously I have 50 dwarves and 2 legendary miners. I don't want to train more since I'll lose out on stone with them not getting one as they mine :/

Forgotten Beasts seem to be akin to Toady playing Russian Roulette with your fortress, as they can be anything from harmless giant worms made of mud to necrotic-gas spewing nigh-invunerable iron hydras of doom.

If you have any soil layers, have the new guys train on it. No stone to lose and it trains faster than on rock.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

Had a legendary fish dissector (in a desert biome) that got attacked and beaten by an animal (think it was an elk or something) on his way in as a migrant. 

Managed to kill it, but ended up in hospital unable to walk.  Not only useless skills, and me unable to get him to do anything useful, but he actually consumes food & stuff...

Just got a peasant.  With 0 skills.  And I checked his profile and all the mental and phys attributes were at the lowest they can GET.
Seriously, dorffort, what d'you got against a guy named after a space station?

Uh, if you need more miners, couldn't you make a danger room, assign a few dwarves to it, order them to train with weapons and forbid all weapons except for picks to force them to level mining?
On topic, I once got a peasant who only had the intimidator skill.  How do you become an accomplished intimidator without doing anything else is beyond me, but my guess is he scared everyone so much that they exiled him to my fort

I just got a butcher who has taken a fancy to my coin vault. He spends all his time in there, just hanging out.

I call him "Scrooge McDwarf".

They became immigrants because they could not make a living at the mountainhome. That's why all of the immigrants are useless.
