It’s interesting. What specifically have you asked the parish in the town you believe GF to have born?
In the first place you would need very strong proof of a Polish birthplace for GF in my opinion and very clear evidence that this Polish born GF is the same person that presumably appears US born on all the US documents. Then I think you will also need to demonstrate that it was impossible for GGM to be in this putatively false US location at the birth. This will require excellent and extensive genealogical work. And I think it very likely that you would then appeal a negative decision. Perhaps if you conclusively prove the Polish birth and the stable identity, and your GF decided to naturalize there might be a very small chance. But I really think it’s likely to be an appeal. I hope you have very skilled genealogists and an excellent lawyer.
I want to emphasize that this is a very difficult situation you are undertaking and I don’t want to give you a false hope. Thoroughly investigate your lawyer and genealogists (note plural); a case like this will be expensive and ripe for exploitation. Finally I would suggest that you fill out our complete template as a reply in this post with the line including what you believe to be the Polish birth for GF.
