Hi,
I wanted to move from BitCoinQT client to MultiBit. So here is what i did

1: Iimported the BitCoinwallet to BlockChain Info
2: downloaded backup of wallet from BlockChain Info
3: Created new wallet in MultiBit
4: Followed Instruction on BlockChain Info and imported private keys in Multibit & let it sync with network
5: Created a new receive address in Multibit and send coins from Blockchain Info to this new address in Multibit.

Now the main questions are:

1: How can i transfer recieve address from BitCoinQT client to Multibit?
2: Because i have quite a few entries in receiving address, When i create a new receive address, How do i know which new address multibit has created for me?


TIA

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I don't recommend moving a wallet from Bitcoin core to MultiBit by moving the private keys.
Bitcoin core creates new change addresses in batches of 100 so, once you run out of your current set, the two wallets will diverge.

You're safer simply sending the bitcoin from one wallet to another.

I want to do the same, but I'm afraid that I will do something wrong.
