Only if your parent elected to become a Citizen. They had the right to be a U.S. Citizen because their father was born on U.S. soil. This would have had to be done in their youth as long as your Grandfather was living in this Country at that time. If your parent did not become a U.S. Citizen then you don't have that right just because your Grandfather was an U.S. Citizen.

I think you mean citizenship. Your grandfather has nothing to do with that. If both your parents are citizens of another country, and you were born there, that is your citizenship. Which ever parent of yours was the child of the grandfather, MIGHT be able to be a dual citizen, but if they have not done so, I doubt they can now.
The other option is to apply for immigration, then apply to be a citizen. That takes a long time, and is complicated.

Not a chance. All non-citizens must apply. Even a spouse is not automatic, no matter what the illegal alien crowd says.
And if you are here ILLEGALLY, go home first. YOU can't apply when you are an illegal alien criminal. If you are here illegally, you are a criminal because you are breaking the law. This is not a racist comment it is FACT and the law.

You either have to be born in America yourself or go through a naturalization ceremony to be an American citizen.

I do not beleive so. I think that you would be able to get a green card, but not a citizenship.
