There is a way for my granddaughter to get American citizenship based on my residence in the US, but it can only be applied for in the States and requires her to live there for six months.
Sorry I dont have the answer but I do have friends that live in EY are US citizens got their kids US citizenship and their kids got their kids(my friends grandkids) US citizenship as well, AFAIK none of my friend skids spent any large amount of time in the US. Some did apply over here when they came to visit saying it was easier then in EY, teh grandkids ages all varied
I think the key is having at least 1` parent that is a US citizen, best if its the mother
