You can send form object like : new FormData($(this)[0]) which send both input values and file object to the ajax call.

var formData = new FormData($(this)[0]);
$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'page.asmx/method',
    data: formData,
        async: false,
        success: function (data) {
            alert(data)
        },
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false
});

You need to serialize you data....

  var data = new FormData();

  var files = $("#YOURUPLOADCTRLID").get(0).files;

  // Add the uploaded image content to the form data collection
  if (files.length > 0) {
       data.append("UploadedFile", files[0]);
  }

  // Make Ajax request with the contentType = false, and procesDate = false
  var ajaxRequest = $.ajax({
       type: "POST",
       url: "/api/fileupload/uploadfile",
       contentType: false,
       processData: false,
       data: data
       });

And inside the controller you can have something like

if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.AllKeys.Any())
{
   // Get the uploaded image from the Files collection
   var httpPostedFile = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files["UploadedFile"];

   if (httpPostedFile != null)
   {
   // Validate the uploaded image(optional)

   // Get the complete file path
       var fileSavePath = Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/UploadedFiles"), httpPostedFile.FileName);

    // Save the uploaded file to "UploadedFiles" folder
    httpPostedFile.SaveAs(fileSavePath);
}
 }

Hope it helps...
