To be honest, I'm not sure. You could set an onchange event to automatically submit the form as soon as that control changes, but I'm fairly certain that <input type="file"> should not throw any change events or make the name of the file available to JS, for reasons of security. Auto submitting the form would not allow the user to correct mistakenly selecting the wrong file, or rather, forms usually allow you to change a field and verify before submitting, so automatically submitting would violate POLA, and I could see browsers potentially disallowing that. You would need to test - can you auto-submit the form on change of the file field? Try it and let us know.
