I was looking at the us embassy website for Ghana and saw that the DS-156 form is being replaced by the DS-160 as of June 4. Has anyone had any expereinces with that form?

I don't know. My fiance will be picking his packet up hopefully soon- it will be interesting to see if it has the DS-156 or DS-160 listed. I wonder if that is for visitor visas?

Maybe bring both! Its better to have both then missing one right?

So ghana is not using the Online form in placement of the DS156? Thanks

From what I've read about the DS-160, I interpret it as not being needed for K1. The instructions seem to be a little vague though, but this online form (verification of completion) wasn't asked for at my fiancee's interview so it probably isn't needed.

See here for info, particularly the Note for question #13:

See here for a previous VJ discussion on the DS-160 (different embassy):
