The rule of 2 years has been changed to one year (as I heard few weeks ago), so in your case you can transfer after 2nd June (hijri calendar 10 days short). But you can ask your present sponsor to give you release letter at the end of Apr and you new sponsor can process the transfer after 2nd June; whcih will be completely legal for you working with new sponsor in the month of May.
