In the interest of keeping this simple, disregard what I said in post #13 and do the following:

Write "see attached" on the form itself.
On the supplemental sheet, reference the question that is being answered.
Write the address as he has provided it to you.
Write the dates he has lived there.

Yes it has to be signed right now or they won't even process it.I scanned ours to my husband , he printed it out , signed it and scanned it back to me.

But signing and scanning it back is NOT an original signature. I thought that paper had to have the ORIGINAL signature, not a scanned copy????

Yes but there is no mail service all things handled through DHL which isn't cheap.

Considering that the visa process, including medical and translations, costs around $1,500 give or take a couple of hundred, I'm sure you can spare $50 to get the form correctly filled out and prevent an RFE.

All forms need to have the original signature. Every once and awhile, a scanned/copied signature will slip through, but is it really worth the risk?!
