You really cannot bring your grandma to the US she would have to apply for a tourist visa in her own right and she would need to show/prove that she has no immigrant intent but simply wants to visit the US for a brief period of time and that she will return to Cuba. The burden is on her to provide sufficient documentation of her ties to Cuba that would ensure her return. The granting of the visa is completely discretionary with the consular officer.
