He cannot directly petition for you to adjust status but you may be entitled to derivative citizenship through his child and your parent

Your grandfather cannot petition for you as a permanent resident but you may be able to derive (inherit) citizenship from him, if you qualify. You may wish to consult a lawyer.
Without a retainer agreement with this office, there is no attorney client relationship, confidentiality of the attorney client relationship, or responsibility of this office for the case.
