you can only continue an approach with RVR below mins, in the States, if you've passed the FAF

If the wx is below minimums before the final part of the approach i.e. before the FAF, then the approach must be discontinued.
FARs & JARs may write it differently but they both mean the same thing, despite 411A's assumption that in the USA the PIC can decide everything depending on how he feels on the day

Just to clear one thing up (JAA/EU). The FAF has nothing what so ever to do with the approach ban. Its the OM or equivalent position or if neither exist then 1000ft. (The FAF can regularly be 6 or 7 miles out)
