Its not because of the fees or something,my transaction is just not in their mempool, *achow101* rebroadcasted it via his node then viaBTC was able to find my transaction and i was getting the beyong limit error because there was no slot,then as soon as the hour was about to begin i tried viaBTC and it was again at *Transaction Does Not Exist*,If anyone can please help me it will be much much appreciated.
I tried rebroadcasting it again but ViaBTC says that the transaction cannot be found. I don't know why they say that, but there's really nothing that can be done about it.

It's because it contains dust. If blocktrail says it contains dust viabtc generally refuses to see it.

There is a paid viabtc accelerator service that would probably accept the transaction. Viabtc has this explanation at the bottom of its accelerator page.

Do you have paid accelerator service?

ViaBTC’s Transaction Accelerator is a FREE service for the community. We also provide manual accelerator service for special cases (dire urgency, extremely low transaction fee etc.) and require a donation of 0.01BTC for each transaction. Please contact support@viabtc.com for details.
Okay so if don't do anything and leave it as it is,how much time will it take the mempools to forget my tx and return it to my wallet?i read somewhere it was 72 hours,but i have waited more than that before i came here for help and no i didn't rebroadcast it in those hours.So if anyone can tell me that?it would be much appreciated.

It's difficult to say. It partially depends on what wallet you are using. If you are using core it will automatically keep rebroadcasting a transaction.

Generally the network should forget a transaction after three days, but I know of a case where a transaction wasn't forgotten after 11 days.

The OP of this thread sent a zero fee transaction to see if it would confirm, which it did after 11 days. However the network wasn't overloaded with unconfirmed transactions then.

Ironically the network forgot about another zero fee transaction sent at about the same time by another person

edit

Something seems to be rebroadcasting your transaction. Blockcypher shows it received it about an hour ago from the IP 198.204.226.2:8333.
