DCF Frankfurt, RFE, does Embassy need notified of US Citizen Departure to US?

We are processing DCF through Frankfurt Embassy. We just were given an RFE, but I have to return to the US immediately (I'm the US Citizen). Does the Embassy need notified of my departure, or can I just leave without notification? Does this work differently since I was claiming residency (until now) and we are filing DCF?

The USC petitioner typically only needs to be a resident of the DCF country up to the date the petition is received. You should not have to notify them. What is your RFE for? Is it regarding your residency in any way?

Thanks for your answer. No, the RFE was not because of residency, and the I-130 is already approved. It was because package 3 was lost by the Deutsche Post (a claim has been filed for the lost mail; unfortunately the Deutsche Post wants to reimburse for costs, and did not find the lost package). Therefore, the Embassy did not receive the package containing the I-864, Police Certificates, etc. and that was what was requested.
