The only thing to make sure is that it is not cdma. Pretty much only the States use cdma (Verizon for one) you will want GSM version (like at&t use) this is pretty much rest-of-world standard.
Also you may have issues getting a micro sim but you can cut down old style sim with scissors or get conversion kits. I have cut several with no issues - check google for guides.
Lastly be aware you probably won't get 4g.
so in short - it should work fine.
As for getting one? Some stores will sell them to you, others will charge to unlock. I have used online legit unlock services before -expect to pay about 50 dollars. Or buy direct online.

Oh and as far as I know the 920 does not come in cdma variant but best to check.

It roams

It may roam but as a Brit living in the states who has worked all over the world, the only country I have seen using non-GSM is USA. I have Verizon 8x it won't connect to cell towers in europe/middle east as they are incompatible.

AT&T phones roam worldwide

Unlocked 920 will work perfectly fine oversees with a compatible micro-SIM. CDMA Lumia 920 is not sold in US or any other country except China I believe.
