Why can't I post an object containing both a model and additional parameters using jQuery?

Question

Why can't I post an object containing both a model and a integer(id) from mvc view to action using jQuery? I am trying to post an object containing a model and a (int)ID from my view to MVC action.The problem is, I can post id(int) but cannot pass Model, while the controller receives the ID correctly but Model is empty. I tried many things but it doesn't work and Model is always empty.But when I just pass model on its own then it works(not empty). Can someone suggest me some idea?

jQuery Code:

$.ajax({
    type: 'post',
    url: '@Url.Action("AddProfileAddress", "Account")',
    data: {
        model1: $('#frmAddProfileAddress').serialize(),
        id: 3
    }
});

Controller

<HttpPost()> _
Public Function AddProfileAddress(ByVal model1 As Address, id As Integer) As ActionResult
{
    ...
}

What am I doing wrong?

You need a [ViewModel](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11064316/what-is-viewmodel-in-mvc) containing your Model and your Id. — Liam, Nov 14 '13 at 16:36

The solution is below:

                        type: 'POST',
                        url: '@Url.Action("AddProfileAddress", "Account")',
                        data: $('#frmAddProfileAddress').serialize()+"&addresstypeid="+addresstypeid,
                        beforeSend: function () {
                            //launchpreloader();
                            $("div#spinner").fadeIn("fast");
                        },
                        complete: function () {
                            //stopPreloader();
                            $("div#spinner").fadeOut("fast");
                        },
                        success: function (result) {
                            //alert(result);
                        }
                    });
