Will I be affected by £35k if I switch to Tier 2 ?

Hi
I'm currently on a work permit which expires three months before I can apply for ILR (Entry clearance expires Aug 2013 but I'll complete 5 years in UK on Nov 2013). This to my understanding will require an extension, which I guess will involve a switch to Tier 2 prior to my ILR application?
If this is the case and I needed to switch to Tier 2, will the new £35K be applicable to me as the switch will happen after 6 April 2011??
... OR the £35k is only applicable to ILR applications after 6 April 2016, eventhough you'd be on Tier 2 after Apr 2011?
Any clarifications greatly appreciated !
Many thanks
