Grandparents, aunts, uncles, in-laws, and cousins cannot sponsor a relative for immigration.  If the basis of your grandmother's filing was something other than relation, then the answer to your question would depend on what benefit she filed for on your behalf.  In any case, you would have to become a permanent resident before you could become a citizen.
