To live in the US?  There are no guidelines because no Grandchildren immigrant visas exist.  Student visas are possible, but they are not immigrant visas.   They are short term.

Student Visa probably

Even if your wife has an i130 for each of her children, her grandchildren will likely age out.

 

Realistic non family based immigration:

1) train as a nurse, there are agencies who get GCs for nurses.

2) train as a doctor, medical residency in US, GC if working in underserved area

3) stem bachelor degree or masters - 3 year work visa and hopefully your employer likes you enough to sponsor you
